Autism: A Holistic Approach

Educating and caring for a child with autism is a difficult task, too often associated with frustration and disappointment. As a result, the inner development of these children is at times considered to be beyond the reach of parents and carers. This book challenges the assumption, exploring case studies where therapy based on a holistic approach has resulted in marked improvements in children's behaviour and social integration. The authors describe in detail their own practical experience as well as the findings of other experts in the field. This third edition covers recent development in diagnostic methods and approaches to treatment. Well-researched and movingly written, this book has an essential, positive message for all those involved in the care and education of children with autism.
