| Summary |
"Asperger Syndrome: A Guide for Professionals and Families integrates the latest evidence-based research from leading scholars; and examples from those working with this population in nonuniversity settings, with personal practical advice from a mother whose adolescent has Asperger Syndrome, and from a young man who has Asperger syndrome." |
|
"Asperger Syndrome is a life-long condition that requires long-term planning, treatment, and medical intervention. Early diagnosis and treatment may lead to minimalizing the impact of the Asperger Syndrome at each developmental stage. Asperger Syndrome: A Guide for Professionals and Families provides effective perspective on each type of intervention, and assists those making key decisions at critical developmental and educational times in the life of the Asperger Syndrome person. The authors rely on the most current research evidence and clinical experience to provide a realistic appraisal of the most significant aspects of Asperger Syndrome."--BOOK JACKET |
