Designing Comprehensive Interventions for High-Functioning Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorders
The Ziggurat Model, Release 2.0 Ruth Aspy, PhD, and Barry Grossman, PhD; foreword by Gary Mesibov, PhD Based on the ASA Literary Work of the Year
While it is relatively easy to find information describing specific interventions, it is difficult to find information on how to develop a comprehensive intervention plan. Designing Comprehensive Interventions for High-Functioning Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorders: The Ziggurat Model, Release 2.0 presents a process and framework for designing interventions for individuals of all ages with ASD while staying consistent with recent special education trends, including response to intervention, evidence-based practices, and positive behavioral supports.

This updated and expanded version includes the latest research, a special section on ZigguratCAPS integration (written by Brenda Smith Myles and Shawn Henry), and a new version of the Underlying Characteristics Checklist for Early Intervention (UCC-EI). Ruth Aspy, PhD, is a licensed psychologist and author. She specializes in assessment and intervention for individuals with autism spectrum disorders and is associated with The Ziggurat Group.

With the Ziggurat Model of intervention, Drs.

Highly recommended. Peter F. Gerhardt, EdD, president, Organization for Autism Research

Foundations/Characteristics
Autism as Context Blindness
Peter Vermeulen, PhD; Foreword by Brenda Smith Myles, PhD Based on the winner of the Moms Choice Award 2012
Inspired by the ideas of Uta Frith, internationally known psychologist and a pioneer in theory of mind as it relates to autism, Vermeulen explains in everyday terms how the autistic brain functions, with a particular emphasis on the apparent lack of sensitivity to and awareness of the context in which things happen. Full of examples, often humorous, the book goes on to examine context as it relates to observation, social interactions, communication and knowledge. The book concludes with a major section on how to reduce context blindness in these various areas, vital for successful functioning. Despite years of study and advanced technologies, we still do not fully understand how the typical brain works, much less how the autistic brain works. According to Dr. Vermeulen, the treatment of autism is still too focused on behavior and not enough on observation or determining the way of thinking that leads to the observation. Due to the far-reaching consequences of context blindness, this book is a must for those living and working with individuals with autism. Peter Vermeulen, PhD, is a psychologist and co-director of the Centre for Concrete Communication, a training and education center specializing in autism spectrum disorders in Belgium.

ISBN: 9781937473457 Code: 9508 Price: $45.00 E-Book: Yes

Peter Vermeulen brings a truly refreshing perspective to autism and thus sheds new light on our still blurry vision of this perennially fascinating condition. His distinctive point of view and his extensive experience with people with autism of all ages and abilities, which shines through this book, enables him to distill immensely valuable practical advice. Uta Frith, world expert on autism
