Dr. Melmed is a developmental and behavioral pediatrician who has, among many other things, established physician-training programs for the early identification of infants and toddlers with autism and other developmental behavioral concerns.
Parents who find out their child might have autism are overwhelmed with doctors, therapists, and information all at once. It can be difficult for these parents to find the answers they need in a sea of resources, especially for a parent who is not familiar with autism terminology and treatments. In this book the author simply explains the signs of autism, the diagnosis, and early intervention strategies that are critical for the child's development.
This guide answers questions such as:
> What is autism?
> What are the signs of autism?
> Who is involved in my child's evaluation?
> What should I expect at the time of diagnosis?
> What are the goals of early intervention?
> How do I choose which treatments are right for my child?
In addition this book offers easy-to-read charts, a glossary of autism terms, and a comprehensive detailed list of resources.
