Supporting Adolescents with Autism in Secondary Schools

Více o produktu ↓

Filling a major gap in neuropsychological references and training materials, this is the first guide to conducting effective clinical interviews as a core component of neuropsychological practice. Prominent experts provide state-of-the-art information about interviewing in the context of 16 different adult populations and settings. Chapters outline critical areas of inquiry and key considerations for differential diagnosis, as well as what initial and follow-up questions to ask, rapport-building strategies, and common interviewing pitfalls. Tips for record reviews and behavioral observations are offered. Chapters follow a consistent format and include extensive tables for easy reference.

In a convenient large-size format, this book presents the first research-based, comprehensive program designed to support high school students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Developed and tested in public schools by the Center on Secondary Education for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (CSESA), the program addresses four critical areas--literacy, social competence and peer relationships, independence, and postschool transition preparation for students and their families. Chapters provide a roadmap for implementation of each component, complete with intervention guidelines, case vignettes, key findings, lessons learned, and reproducible forms that can be downloaded and printed at the companion website. The book also helps readers navigate the wealth of additional resources freely available from CSESA.
