- Authors
Maurice, Catherine; Mannion, Kathy; Letso, Suzanne; Perry, Lora
- Abstract
The history of autism treatment has been dominated by a series of failed treatments, passing fads, and misinformed theories of etiology. With the advances in teaching methods derived from the science of Applied Behavior Analysis however, significant remediation of the disorder is now possible. Yet at present parents or caregivers still face serious challenges in identifying scientifically-validated treatment models, and in securing competent and well-trained therapists. Four parents report on these challenges, on the steps they have taken to mitigate these difficulties in their own families, and on the long-term solutions they are attempting to implement in the wider community.
