Effective Practices for Children with Autism: Educational and Behavior Support Interventions that Work Description
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. Which are the most effective in teaching skills, overcoming behavior challenges, and improving quality of life? Methods must be based in research settings, but be easily extended to real world settings where children with autism live, go to school, socialize, and recreate. Identifying and validating effective practices is a complex and multi-faceted process, but an essential one for responsible research and practice. This book brings together multiple and contemporary perspectives on intervention effectiveness for autism education and behavior support. With contributors from a variety of disciplines and orientations, Effective Practices for Children with Autism presents a critical appraisal of current practice standards, emphasizing empirically supported procedures and research-to-practice applications. By bringing together a diverse group of authors, the editors have ensured that the vast field of information on interventions for children with autism is thoroughly examined, and that no topic has gone untouched. Written for practitioners, research scientists, and clinicians, the book is an essential framework for evaluating educational and treatment procedures, selecting those that are most effective, and evaluating outcomes.

I bought this book to help me determine what treatments for autism were scientifically-based. I have not finished the book yet, but I was not disappointed. The book is very scientifically-based, and does not seem to be biased towards any particular treatment or type of treatment. The book has already given me some valuable information that I will be using in my quest to ensure that my son's school district provides him with appropriate educational programming.

In my opinion as a behavior analyst, this book is written for professionals who have taken some advanced university courses specifically in behavior analysis. Its writing is concise, accurate, and terse. I found it invaluable when I was getting my masters in ABA, and still do now that I am a practitioner. It has a wealth of knowledge,but is more theory and less step-by-step.
For everyone, from ABA newbies to behavior analysts, I would recommend they look at
Behavioral Intervention for Young Children With Autism: A Manual for Parents and Professionals. This book is based on sound science, avoids the jargon, and is a great go-to-book!
