Effective Practices for Children with Autism
Children who have autism require comprehensive educational and treatment services. There are a myriad of approaches currently recommended to practitioners and parents, but little is known about their efficacy.

Behavioral Medicine with the Developmentally Disabled
Since the late 1960s, the behavioral treatment of mentally retarded, au tistic, and other developmentally disabled persons has grown progres sively more sophisticated.

In spite of these advances, it strikes us that this almost exclusive focus on behavior problems and skills remediation has been somewhat myopic ...

Challenges for the next decade as the subtitle ofa book is a statement ofambition. In the present time we have to be ambitious as scientists, clinicians, and teachers.

Unfortunately, the action that is taken is often impulsive and not based on scientifically proven methods: longerjail sentences for young first offenders, pu...
