Collaboratively designed by faculty in Special Education and Communication Disorders and a program supervisor for the Asperger's Skill Building Network, this book provides detailed curricular advice, incorporates effective research and experientially-based interventions to better serve individuals with autism spectrum disorders and concurrent severe disabilities (ASD/SD).

This book is a must have tool that will be put to work in the classroom! -- Deborah M. Sanchez, MA, Ed.S., Special Education Teacher, Newark Public Schools The authors, who have extensive experience in the fields of both autism education and teacher education, have written a very readable and comprehensive text about teaching students with autism and other severe disabilities.
