Autism Treatment Guide by Elizabeth Gerlach King
This 3rd edition is a comprehensive resource guide for parents and professionals in the autism community. It presents facts, research information, and effective treatment options in a clear and concise way. Learn about the diagnostic process, intervention techniques, therapies, biomedical treatments, diets, and much more. Every section includes a written introduction to that topic and an explanation of that topic's relevance to the field of autism, followed by a list of related resources and suggested readings. The real meat of this book is in the wide-ranging contact information: names, numbers, and websites for clinics, medical centers, organizations, and key personnel. You can spend hours Googling, or you could buy this book.
