Learning and Behavior Problems in Asperger Syndrome

Edited by Margot Prior, Ph.D.

Description:

This book provides research-based, practical information on managing the challenges that Asperger syndrome (AS) presents in everyday life and in the classroom.  Current knowledge is reviewed on the core learning, behavioral, emotional, social, and communication difficulties associated with this complex disorder.  Hurdles facing children with AS and their parents and teachers are clearly identified, and effective assessment and intervention approaches described.  Special features include firsthand accounts from an adult with AS and a teacher with extensive experience in the area, as well as numerous illustrative vignettes and classroom examples.  While written primarily for professionals, the book will also be of interest to many parents.
