When autism is diagnosed or suspected in young children, overwhelmed parents wonder where to turn and how to begin helping their child. Drs.

The book covers: - early indicators of ASD in children younger than 3 years - behaviors of 3 to 5 year olds with a confirmed diagnosis - research about effective treatments & teaching methods - social, play, communication & self-help skills - support for the rest of the family Case studies and a rew of evidence-based interventions and proven practices help parents prepare a strong foundation for their child's future development.
