Linking Theories to Practice

The Indiana Resource Center for Autism has published an article discussing some of the theories that researchers have developed regarding autism spectrum disorders. Here is a snippet:

"The variation of cognitive impairments in individuals with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents a challenge for developing unifying theories of the core weakness. Over the past twenty years, researchers in psychology have attempted to develop unifying theories of the central deficit present in individuals with ASD. While research into these areas is common, no one theory can truly explain all of the behaviors exhibited by any particular individual with ASD. However, teachers, parents, and individuals on the spectrum may find that viewing strengths and challenges through any one of these lenses provides some insight into appropriate interventions."
