Would make an excellent text for a course in treatment of ASD, as well as a great resource for practitioners searching to find the most appropriate treatments for a wide range of individuals with ASD.

Trisha Self, Associate Professor & Paul M. Cassat Distinguished Chair in CSD, Wichita State University, Wichita, KS - April 12, 2021

This book is needed and highly valued ... students as well as practicing SLPs will benefit from this updated comprehensive resource of evidence-based practices frequently used with individuals with ASD.

Mareile Koenig, Professor and SLP Graduate Program Coordinator, Communication Sciences and Disorders, West Chester University - April 12, 2021

A valuable resource for SLP students learning about interventions to support individuals with ASD in learning social-communication skills. ... No single book can possibly capture all one needs to know for supporting learners with autism, but this volume is an excellent foundation for the journey.
