Autism: A Comprehensive
Occupational Therapy Approach,
3rd Edition
Edited by Heather Miller Kuhaneck, MS, OTR/L,
FAOTA, and Renee Watling, PhD, OTR/L
Various reports in the national media
have focused on a potentially significant
rise in the incidence of autism during the
past decade. As such, providing occupational
therapy practitioners with a comprehensive
guide for practice with people
with an ASD continues as a primary goal of this text. Recognizing
that young children grow into adolescents and adolescents grow
into adults, this edition also includes additional content applicable
to adults as well as incorporates the findings from the explosion of
recent research in this area.
Using the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework as a guide,
the chapters provide the information occupational therapy practitioners
need to work with individuals with an ASD in client-centered
and occupation-based practice.
Section Highlights and Topics—
• Section I. An Introduction to the Autism Spectrum Disorders—
historical background, neurology, etiology
• Section II. Common Strengths and Challenges for Individuals
With an ASD—diagnosis, communication, socialization, emotional
regulation, sensory processing, motor control
• Section III. Occupations in Individuals With an ASD—individual
and family occupations
• Section IV. Occupational Therapy Evaluation and Intervention
for Individuals With an ASD—appropriate techniques, play, selfcare,
sensory integration, technology
• Section IV. Occupational Therapy Practice: Contexts and Use
of Evidence—early intervention, transitions, evidence-based
practice.
“Did You Know?” boxes highlight information such as statistics
or resources to further expand awareness and knowledge of
concepts relevant to providing services to individuals with an ASD.
This book remains a must-have resource for occupational therapy
students and practitioners at all levels.
