Autism through the Lifespan

Presents an in-depth model for helping children and adults with autism.

Autism through the Lifespan

By David L. Holmes, Ed.D.
For more than twenty years, The Eden Family of Services in Princeton, New Jersey, has provided comprehensive behaviorally based services for children and adults with autism. Now Eden's founding director, David L. Holmes, Ed.D., writes about autism and the specialized programs offered at Eden.
The book explains how Eden's theories and practices can be replicated in other communities. A major focus of the book is Eden's concept of lifespan services, meaning people in the program receive continuous services as needed, over their lifetime. Eden maintains a continuum of educational, residential, and employment programs to provide the seamless, permanent support network that people with autism and their families often require.
With numerous examples and case histories, Autism Through the Lifespan presents an in-depth model for helping children and adults with autism. It begins with an overview of what's known about autism today, then discusses Eden's approach to modifying behavior, placement and treatment, their zero reject policy, curriculum from early childhood to adulthood, staffing issues, integration, decision making, and parental roles.
Professionals - and families - looking for a sophisticated and specialized approach to treating and caring for people with severe disabilities will find this book an invaluable resource. 383 pages. 70 photos. 1998.
