Section I gives an overview of ASD, including its history, prominent researchers in the field, and changes in the diagnostic criteria; Section II looks at evidence-based interventions and the newer sensory theories and frameworks; Section III examines ASD across the lifespan, as well as the experiences of parents and families; and Section IV looks at additional critical issues, including media, sexuality, peer relationships, and immigration. Key Features: cross-Canada research and practice examples, lifespan approach, focus on the adult years, inclusion of the history of ASD, focus on evidence-based interventions."--

This book was released on 2024-05-17 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing the Gaps" delves into the often-overlooked struggles of autistic children and their families in Canada, revealing how systemic inadequacies in healthcare, education, and social services lead to profound and lasting impacts. Despite a myriad of policies and programs, many children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are left to navigate a fragmented system that too often falls short. This eBook uncovers the lengthy delays in diagnosis, the patchwork of services that vary drastically from one province to another, and the significant financial burdens placed on families seeking essential therapies and interventions. It highlights the inconsistencies in educational support, where inclusive education policies are poorly implemented and resources for specialized programs are scarce. Through powerful case studies and personal narratives, "Addressing the Gaps" paints a vivid picture of the daily battles faced by autistic children and their families, from social isolation and bullying to the overwhelming stress on parents and caregivers. These stories are complemented by a critical analysis of current government initiatives and the persistent gaps that need urgent attention. Yet, amidst these challenges, the book also shares inspiring success stories of advocacy, innovation, and resilience. It offers a comprehensive set of recommendations aimed at policymakers, educators, healthcare providers, and community leaders, providing a roadmap for creating a more equitable and supportive system.

Book excerpt: Law and Neurodiversity offers invaluable guidance on how autism research can inform juvenile justice policies in Canada and the United States. In Canada, the diversion of youth away from formal processing has fostered community-based strategies for serving those with autism. US policies rely more heavily on formal responses, often employing juvenile custody facilities. Building on a rigorous exploration of how assessment, rehabilitation, and community re-entry differ between the two countries, Law and Neurodiversity offers a much-needed comparative analysis of autism and juvenile justice policies on both sides of the forty-ninth parallel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book supports the professional learning of school principals, and those who aspire to be such, in development of their skills and knowledge around fostering inclusive schools for students with special education needs. The book includes 27 case stories that are based on research with school principals. Each case includes expert commentaries and resources to support principals and emerging leaders as they consider how to effectively support students with special education needs in inclusive schools. Its premise is based on the recognition that there are increasing numbers of students with disabilities and special education needs in neighbourhood schools. Principals need to develop new competencies to navigate the challenges, and benefits, of including students with special education needs into inclusive classroom settings. The book provides opportunities to build leadership competencies by considering a diversity of cases related to inclusive leadership. The cases in the book are divided among nine sections addressing the following areas: transitions, early years, elementary school cases, secondary school cases, community supports, school board/district supports, school teams, complex cases, and cases specific to new teachers. Seven cross-cutting themes are addressed in these cases including: communication, parents/caregivers, agency/efficacy, collaboration, relationships/trust, legal, and advocacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People Skills for Behavior Analysts provides a much-needed introduction to the people skills needed to succeed as a behavior analyst. Divided into two primary parts – Foundational Skills and Specialized Skills – this book addresses an impressive breadth of people skills, focusing on intrapersonal and interpersonal skills, collaboration, consultation and training, leadership, and resource development. Relying on recent evidence-based practices and relevant literature tailored to meet the new BACB Task List, Professional & Ethical Compliance Code, and Supervised Independent Fieldwork requirements, the text includes contributions from leading figures from a wide variety of applied behavior analysis subfields to provide a truly balanced overview. The book delves into the literature from fields related to behavior analysis, such as counselling, psychology, graphic design, management and education, and applies these perspectives to behavioral theories and principles to provide students, new graduates, and seasoned professionals with research, best practices, reflective questions, and practical techniques. From reflecting on one’s practice, to learning essential therapeutic skills, running a great meeting, becoming a ‘super’ supervisor, and delivering a memorable presentation, all people skills are included in one place for the behavior practitioner. This is a valuable resource for undergraduate and graduate students studying Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and will also appeal to recent graduates and behavior analysts looking to improve their existing skillset.

Book excerpt: Until now, the picture painted of French second language learning in Canada has tended to focus on successful French immersion. This volume offers a broader representation, in response to the demographic changes that have made the French language classroom a more complex place. Focusing on inclusion and language maintenance, the chapters discuss how a multilingual population can add the two official languages to their repertoire whilst maintaining their languages of origin/heritage; how the revitalization of Indigenous languages can best be supported in the language classroom, and how students with disabilities can be helped to successfully learn languages.
