Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) demonstrate an array of deficits and excesses that require educational intervention. The editor of this book, Doctor Stephanie L. Brooke, examines the treatment issues relating to the developmental disorders attributed to Autism, specifically her extensive writings on Video Modeling. It has been proven that Video Modeling decreases certain problem behaviors including aggression, tantrums, and other off-task activities, and Doctor Brooke offers a theoretical and practical account of how to apply this procedure.
