Wall, a veteran special needs educator, considers provisions for
adolescents and adults with autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs) across
the disciplines of health, education, and social care. The effect on
family members is discussed. Legislation and government initiatives
are examined from a UK perspective. Brief chapter summaries are
included, and separate chapter discussion questions are provided for
parents and professionals. Chapter bibliographies list books,
articles, journals, reports, guidance documents, and web sites. A
legislation timeline is also included. The book is for professionals
at all levels, and for parents and family of people with ASDs. The
author has written other books on special needs and autism.
