This book addresses the durability of behavioral treatment effects for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It provides an overview of basic research underlying behavioral relapse and persistence as well as applied research on and strategies for promoting long-lasting behavior change. Chapters address key issues, such as mechanisms underlying various forms of relapse and clinical strategies for mitigating and preventing them. Additional areas of coverage include relapse-mitigation strategies for specialized areas of practice (e.g., feeding).
Key areas of coverage include:
- Strategies for mitigating relapse.
- Quantitative models of behaviour as they apply to relapse.
- Basic research on relapse made consumable and applicable for clinicians.
- Managing and ensuring safety during treatment.
- Ensuring successful treatment transfer to community settings.
Behavioral Treatments for Individuals with Autism is a must-have resource for clinicians, therapists, and other practitioners as well as researchers, professors, and graduate students in clinical child and school psychology, developmental disabilities, clinical social work, public health, behavioral therapy and rehabilitation, pediatrics, physical therapy, occupational therapy, neurology, and all related disciplines.
