As we move into our second decade, we are frequently questioned about all aspects of our procedures, techniques, and program. Of all the questions that are asked, however, the one that comes up most frequently and seems to set our program apart from others concerns the ways in which we work with families. To help answer this question we identified what we have found to be the major components in our parent-professional relationships, and we elaborate on these with the most current research informa- tion, clinical insights, and community knowledge available through the expertise of our distinguished contributors. Our purpose was to collect the most recent information and to organize the resulting volume along the outlines of the par- ent-professional relationship found most important in the TEACH program. Thus, the four main sections of the book include these four major ways profes- sionals work with parents: as their advocates, their trainers, their trainees, and their reciprocal emotional support source. To the extent this effort was success- ful, we acknowledge that it is easier to organize book chapters along these dimensions than it is to provide their implementation in the field.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52126179623185,"sku":"NLS9780306415333","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780306415333.jpg?v=1757473576"},{"product_id":"neurobiological-issues-in-autism-book-eric-schopler-9780306424519","title":"Neurobiological Issues in Autism","description":"As a division of the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at ChapeI Hili, TEACH has always been involved in the latest biological research on autism and related developmental disabilities.

Although we were not able to include all of the workers who have contributed to the theme, this volume represents our best effort to pull together for our readers the most current knowledge and state of the art practices. Although aspects of cognition, learning, and behavioral motivation have been touched on for relevance to autism in other books in this series, the growing integration of behavioral and cognitive theories has greatly enriched our educational interventions on behalf of autism. While this volume does not include all the fascinating facets of this recent integration, we believe that it offers useful information to teachers, parents, and re- searchers on some of the progress produced by their interaction.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52410973225233,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52410973389073,"sku":"NLS9781489912886","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781489912886.jpg?v=1758780610"},{"product_id":"diagnosis-and-assessment-in-autism-book-eric-schopler-9781489907943","title":"Diagnosis and Assessment in Autism","description":"Division TEACCH, located in the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was one of the first programs in the country to understand that autism was an organic rather than a biologic condition. We were also one of the earliest programs to recognize the enormous variability in characteristics and behaviors of children described as autistic. For these reasons, the processes of diagnosis and assessment have always been important and central to our program. We are therefore extremely pleased to have a volume representing the most current thinking of the field's leaders in these important areas. As with the preceding books in our series, Current Issues in Autism, this volume is based on one of the annual TEACCH conferences held in Chapel Hill each May. The books are not simply published proceedings of the conference papers, however. Rather, conference participants are asked to develop a full chapter around their presentations. Other international experts whose work is beyond the scope of the conference, but related to the major theme, are asked to contribute chapters as well. These volumes are designed to provide the most current knowledge in research and professional practice available on the most important issues defining and clarifying autism.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52455154843921,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52455155335441,"sku":"NLS9781489907943","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781489907943.jpg?v=1759373400"},{"product_id":"communication-problems-in-autism-book-eric-schopler-9781441932037","title":"Communication Problems in Autism","description":"The North Carolina State Legislature's mandate to Division TEACH has three major components. First, to provide the most up-to-date and cost- effective services possible for families with autistic or similar language- impaired children; second, to conduct research aimed toward the better under- standing of such devastating disorders; and third, to provide training for the professionals needed to pursue these goals. One element in achieving these aims is to hold annual conferences on topics of special importance to the under- standing and treatment of autism and similar disorders. In addition to training professionals and parents on the most recent de- velopments in each conference topic, we are publishing a series, Current Issues in Autism, based on these conferences. These books are not, however, simply the published proceedings of the conference papers. Instead, some chapters are expanded conference presentations, whereas others come from national and in- ternational experts whose work is beyond the scope of the conference, but es- sential in our attempt at comprehensive coverage of the conference theme. These volumes are intended to provide the most current knowledge and profes- sional practice available to us at the time.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52455325171985,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52455325860113,"sku":"NLS9781441932037","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781441932037.jpg?v=1759373932"},{"product_id":"effects-of-autism-on-the-family-book-eric-schopler-9781489922953","title":"The Effects of Autism on the Family","description":"As the oldest statewide program serving autistic people in the United States, North Carolina's Division TEACH (Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication handicapped CHildren) has had a major impact on ser- vices for these people and their families. As we move into our second decade, we are frequently questioned about all aspects of our procedures, techniques, and program. Of all the questions that are asked, however, the one that comes up most frequently and seems to set our program apart from others concerns the ways in which we work with families. To help answer this question we identified what we have found to be the major components in our parent-professional relationships, and we elaborate on these with the most current research informa- tion, clinical insights, and community knowledge available through the expertise of our distinguished contributors. Our purpose was to collect the most recent information and to organize the resulting volume along the outlines of the par- ent-professional relationship found most important in the TEACH program. Thus, the four main sections of the book include these four major ways profes- sionals work with parents: as their advocates, their trainers, their trainees, and their reciprocal emotional support source. To the extent this effort was success- ful, we acknowledge that it is easier to organize book chapters along these dimensions than it is to provide their implementation in the field.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52664747753745,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52664748343569,"sku":"NLS9781489922953","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781489922953.jpg?v=1762275442"},{"product_id":"neurobiological-issues-in-autism-book-eric-schopler-9781489919946","title":"Neurobiological Issues in Autism","description":"As a division of the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at ChapeI Hili, TEACH has always been involved in the latest biological research on autism and related developmental disabilities.
