Autism Across the Lifespan cover

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a common developmental disability, currently identified in 1 of 59 children in the United States and occurring across all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. Occupational therapy clinicians must have thorough knowledge of factors related to ASD, human function and performance, occupation across multiple contexts, and the interactions among them to make sound intervention decisions. New to this edition of Autism Across the Lifespan is broadened discussion of ASD across the ages and stages of life, from early childhood to adulthood and aging. Aligned with current evidence and the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, this text empowers clinicians to meet the diverse and unique needs of clients with ASD.

Each chapter includes key terms and case examples and covers applications to occupational therapy practice. By presenting the full scope of occupational therapy services for individuals with ASD, this text guides clinicians in delivering therapy services that are individualized, meaningful, focused, purposeful, and productive, enabling individuals with ASD to realize their full potential.
