A renowned team of professionals sift the sense from the nonsense in assessing the approaches to the treatment of autism. In a field exploding with alternative treatments, choosing the best course of action for the child with autism can be a daunting task. The authors offer compelling practical evidence of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) as the most reliable approach to education, and provide a much needed antidote to other treatments lacking empirical data. The editors begin by providing an overview of ABA, debunking common myths and describing its origins in the Lovaas method and UCLA's Young Autism Project, which first demonstrated what children could accomplish under controlled conditions. They show how Discrete Trial Teaching-individualized learning strategies-has evolved, and identify the pros and cons of specific autism treatments. They define their own mission as protecting the integrity of behavioral intervention for children. This book surveys complementary and alternative medical strategies as well, stressing the need for parents to cast a critical eye before choosing new therapies or moving from one mode of therapy to another. The editors maintain that only through extensive field testing and careful scientific analysis is it possible to distinguish treatments that can be expected to produce significant changes. They encourage parents to look at treatment that has been scientifically investigated and subjected to independent verification. Written in expert yet accessible language, this is an ideal resource for parents navigating through the maze of current ASD therapies. Topics covered include: the Origin of ABA; ABA as a Scientific Method; Alternative Treatments of ABA: What is the Science?; Home vs. School: Which Side are you On?; ASD and the IEP; How Realistic is the Aim for Recovery; Sense and Nonsense about Inclusion; and the Road Map to Successful Integration.

A companion to the original Socially Savvy, this convenient checklist with extended objectives is perfect for assessing learners in both school and medical settings. . Each item on the Socially Savvy Checklist now has two objectives to pick from, depending on the child you are working with or the setting in which you are working. These objectives were designed to show how these skills could be taught in different ways throughout the day and in different environments. Feel free to use the objectives as a jumping off point for your setting and your learner. While an objective may target the playground or a mealtime, you can reword it for gym, a gymnastics class, or snack. The key is to remember that learning happens all the time, and instruction should be embedded in games, daily activities, moments of connection and fun, and wherever you can-especially the unexpected places and times.
