Much of the literature on autism consists of research reviews or recipes to resolve single problems on a narrow range of issues. It is difficult for the practitioner, faced with everyday challenges, to unravel and apply this information flexibly. In Understanding the Nature of Autism, Janice E. Janzen examines the spectrum of autism, describing deficits and strengths and providing practical information and strategies. Her goal is to lead teachers and caregivers to a deeper understanding and recognition of the potential of those with autism. Anecdotes, examples, and an extensive case study illustrate principles and concepts. Numerous figures, reproducible record keeping forms, and a glossary further aid the reader.
