Publisher Synopsis
"Charman and Stone have recruited foremost authorities to summarize in clear and considerable detail what the science shows, the clinical implications of existing knowledge, and the directions toward which we need to move in future research. This book is destined to be a truly influential contribution for autism researchers, clinicians, graduate students, and policymakers seeking to ground their decisions in scientific evidence." - Samuel L. Odom, School of Education, Indiana University, USA "This book is a must-have for the bookshelves of graduate students, clinicians, and researchers specializing in autism... A phenomenal resource." - APA PsycCRITIQUES "The most important, ambitious, and exciting volume to be published on autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in the last several years. The volume brings together leading scholars and researchers whose work has led to revolutionary changes in early diagnosis and innovative, effective intervention... Taken together, the chapters demonstrate the feasibility of identifying every toddler at risk and providing interventions to significantly reduce the severity of symptoms and promote language acquisition." - Helen Tager-Flusberg, Lab of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, Boston University School of Medicine, USA 'This work would be an appropriate text for advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in developmental psychopathology, social development, and developmental cognitive neuroscience.' - Deborah Fein, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Connecticut, USA Read more...
