Summary

"Triumphs in Early Autism Treatment offers a wealth of insight and hope to both parents and clinicians. This book documents the latest research that shows that children who receive applied behavioral analysis (ABA) treatment consistently progress in skill development." "This treatment has allowed numerous children to reach the "best-outcome" status, a level of normal intellectual and educational functioning. In essence, they become indistinguishable from their peers in everyday life. A must-read for parents and clinicians, this book is the first to document "best-outcome" case studies using exclusively ABA treatment."--BOOK JACKET.
