About this title

Synopsis

Occupational therapy plays a vital role in providing services to children with autism and other pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) as well as their families. In this new edition of the classic best-seller, some of the field's foremost authorities offer their knowledge, clinical expertise, and insights on a wide variety of topics across the PDD spectrum. Chapters present diagnostic criteria, interventions, worksheets, sample assessment tools, resouces, case studies, and much more. New topics include exploring the etiology of autism spectrum disorders, occupation in children with PDDs, collaboration to improve communication in children with autism, and best practices in occupational therapy for children with autism.
