Beyond the Autism Diagnosis

Beyond the Autism Diagnosis: a Professional's Guide to Helping Families by Marion O'Brien and Julie A. Daggett is an excellent book for helping professionals better understand the concerns of parents of children with autism spectrum disorder. Through better understanding these concerns they can further help others. Throughout the different sections of the book you can learn ASD vocabulary, emotions, what people do and do not know about autism, communication between professionals and parents and assessment issues. The book also covers ways that professionals can help families deal with the short and long-term concerns of having children with ASD and much more.

Beyond the Autism Diagnosis is great for people who have been in the professional field for years or for those just starting out in their careers.

Indiana residents may check out this book at CeDIR. Others might want to use WorldCat to find it in a library nearby.
