Parents often ask us for a list of readings related to autism and other pervasive developmental disorders. This list is not exhaustive, and no single curriculum describes the unique application of behavioral principles that Northeast Clinical Associates will use in the design of your child’s program. Following the National Research Council Guidelines for Educating Children with Autism, our sources are heavily inclined towards Applied Behavior Analysis.
