Susan Williams White, PhD, is Assistant Professor of Psychology at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), where she codirects the Virginia Tech Autism Clinic.

Dr. White is currently conducting a treatment study, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, on high-functioning adolescents with ASD who also struggle with anxiety. She has written extensively on assessment and treatment considerations for people with ASD and has a special interest in interventions for social deficits and co-occurring psychiatric problems, such as anxiety in individuals with ASD.
"This is an easy, enjoyable read. I was particularly impressed by White's ability to blend empirical data with personal experience. The case studies and examples really brought the book to life and assured me that the information was coming from someone who had been 'in the trenches.' Anyone who endeavors to do social skills training with children and adolescents on the spectrum should make this book a staple in their library."--Lauren M. Hutto, PhD, Regional Multidisciplinary Evaluation and Consulting Center, Florida State University
"Backed by cutting-edge research and considerable clinical experience, White takes the theoretical and makes it practical. The book offers rationales behind tailor-made training methods for individuals and groups and provides a variety of templates and handouts for use with students and their parents. Whether you want to understand the greatest challenges facing students with autism and related conditions, or you want practical strategies you can start using today, this book should hold a prominent place on your desk."--Katherine A. Briccetti, PhD, school psychologist, Piedmont (California) Unified School District
"A very useful resource for special educators. The book's logical organization makes the information easy to access. The emphasis on using peers as supports will be appealing to educators who are looking for better ways to provide inclusive school experiences for students with ASD. The chapter on running social skills training groups is especially helpful and practical."--Kimber L. Wilkerson, PhD, Department of Rehabilitation Psychology and Special Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison
