Now in a newly revised edition, this tried-and-true program -designed to develop new patterns of functional behavior for the autistic child at home- has demonstrated its utility for 25 years.

This book begins with an overview of what we know about the mysterious condition called autism, and the historical parade of theories about its causes and treatments. However, the real focus of the book is something of more immediate concern to the families of these children: overcoming the behavioral deficits and the everyday problematic behavior that characterize children with autism.

Dr. Kozloff writes, "Perhaps the most important contribution of the behavioral approach to educating autistic children and training their parents is its assumption concerning change...Whatever the reasons why an autistic child did not learn to play, speak or cooperate, the fact remains that she or he does not know how to do those things now. Treatment within behavioral approaches is designed to teach a child skills which are necessary for participation in the natural community, and also for the realization of his or her intellectual and emotional potentials."

At once a primer in the principles of applied behavior analysis and a detailed account of the successful education of four different children and families (examining what works, what doesn't, and why), this book will give new hope to parents struggling with a child's autism, and to the professionals whose mission it is to help them.
