Catherine Lord and James P. McGee, “Educating Children with Autism”
ISBN: 0-309-07269-7 | 307 Pages | PDF | 7.6 Mb
John Brian Harley, a British geographer, described the process of making a map as the social construction of knowledge to facilitate understanding.
In many ways, the preparation of this report seemed like that of making a map, not to direct, but to organize and represent information to help progress through the many scientific findings and unknowns in the field of early education in autism. At the request of the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs, this project was undertaken by the National Research Council to consider the state of the scientific evidence of the effects of early educational intervention on young children with autistic spectrum disorders. In any such project, the questions become as important as the answers. Our committee represented many different fields including clinical and developmental psychology, special education, speech and language pathology, psychiatry, and child neurology and we elected to organize our report around the questions that we defined as most important for our areas of inquiry; these questions demand multidisciplinary attention. We attempted to provide a map for each of these questions that represented scientific literature from our respective fields.
The questions cover epidemiology, family support, diagnosis and screening, assistive technology, characteristics of autism, features of intervention programs, and how instructional strategies have been put together in comprehensive programs. The questions also include issues in public policy, personnel preparation, and future research. (more…)

Product Description:
Problems in early pregnancy are among the most common conditions in gynecology and – with management becoming less invasive and depending more on accurate ultrasound and a good understanding of serum biochemistry – many countries now recommend that all maternity units have an early pregnancy section dedicated to managing these conditions. In addition to this, the subject is also an essential part of the training syllabus in the speciality of maternal-fetal medicine. Handbook of Early Pregnancy Care is a practical guide for the management of at-risk early pregnancy. The chapters are concise, well-illustrated and contain decision trees for the management of each condition. Focusing on practical management, not just research, this helpful text will be beneficial in the clinic, as contributors are encouraged to tell the readers what to do in critical situations. Covering key points and containing illustrative case studies, this handbook is relevant to trainees in maternal-fetal medicine and obstetrics, as well asnurses and sonographers who see many at-risk patients in the early stages of pregnancy.
