About the Course

Individuals with autism and their caregivers face unique challenges in later childhood and adolescence, yet this period is often neglected in the professional literature. The unique volume upon which this course is based translates current research on the needs of this population into practical recommendations for clinicians and educators. Featuring vivid case examples and an in-depth, reproducible assessment form, the book comprehensively addresses the many contexts of children’s lives. Accessible guidance and hands-on suggestions are provided for:

  • Supporting positive behavior, communication, and social skills
  • Managing issues related to mental and physical health and sexuality
  • Helping families access services and navigate the legal system
  • Optimizing the educational and transition planning process
