Irene L. Schulz

Dr. Irene L. Schulz and Dr. Margaret S. Texidor have applied their collective backgrounds and expertise in education, counseling, nursing and scientific research to examine the most pressing issues on autism. They explore educational and family issues, appropriate therapies, and future possibilities. The authors reframe the general perspective on autism from a deficit model to an asset model, demonstrating that children along the autism spectrum could greatly contribute to enhancing the quality of life, not only for themselves, but for all of society.
