Description
`Kate Wall shows a depth of knowledge in the subject area of autism and her experience as a practitioner shines through...For anyone working with or planning services for adolescents and adults with autism this is definitely a useful book to have on the shelf′ - Support for Learning

′[This] is the first book I have read which covers both education and care. There is some very useful information, some of which is very thought provoking….The book promotes the importance of everyone working together to achieve a better understanding′ - National Autistic Society

By providing case studies and examples that show the reader how to put theory into practice in multi-disciplinary settings, this book clearly explains how changes in policy and provision have affected the ways in which young people and adults with autism are cared for and educated.

This book offers up-to-date, accessible information on:

o the nature and effects of Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASDs)

o family issues surrounding caring for and educating those with ASDs

o possible intervention programmes

o how to support the family

Based on years of experience gained in education and care settings, this book offers strategies for all those working with adolescents and adults who are on the autistic spectrum.
