Behavioral problems in autism

"Behavioral Problems in Autism" offers effective and long-term strategies for dealing with the most common unwanted behaviors such as physical aggression, self-harm, abusive language and property damage. John Clements draws on his more than 30 years of experience as a clinical psychologist and provides many real-life examples alongside practical ideas for intervention. Readers are assisted by questionnaires, exercises to explore each problem and develop an appropriate plan of action, and a journal to keep track of strategies tried and lessons learned. Practice-oriented and written in accessible language, this book does not provide magic answers and quick fixes, it is dedicated to the small things that can be done every day and make life better.
