Introducing Autism: Theory and Evidence-Based Practices for Teaching Individuals With ASD is an introductory text offering a broad picture of Autism Spectrum Disorder for students, teachers, related service providers, and other school personnel who are engaged in the education of individuals with ASD.
Introducing Autism imparts knowledge and understanding of the broad spectrum of ASD and suggests evidence-based practices to support this population. Editor Dr. Ruth Eren and the text contributors provide readers with a firm foundation of facts, strategies, and processes that help explain and address the complex profile of an individual with ASD. As a result of this understanding, current and future practitioners will be equipped with the skills and strategies to work collaboratively and effectively with their school team as they create a program for a student on the spectrum.
