A brief guide to autism treatments

The vast number of intervention options available for children with autism can be overwhelming for parents. This book provides brief, user-friendly descriptions of the most commonly publicized treatments for autism and summarizes popular opinion and the scientific evidence in an objective and accessible way. Each chapter covers a single treatment from Applied Behavior Analysis to Gluten-Free Casein-Free diets, as well as lesser known therapies such as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. This straight-talking and practical guide will allow parents of newly diagnosed children, as well as any professionals working alongside them, to sift through the avalanche of advice and make their own informed choices about treatment. --from back cover.
