This book is an excellent source of practical ideas on which to base programmes of intervention for children and young people with autism. It is primarily aimed at those working with children who have normal, or near normal, cognitive abilities. The authors approach remediation from the standpoint that a disorder affecting social functioning should be remediated through approaches which focus on these areas. Much can be achieved when children with autism have access to a social skills programme and this book will help all practitioners offer their students the opportunity to enhance their quality of life. Contents: Assessment; Setting the scene for intervention; Pre-school intervention; Infant-level intervention; Junior-level intervention; Intervention with older children and adolescents; Further practicalities. Published in the United Kingdom.
