'Author Efrosini Kalyva...writes about recent scientific research and allows the reader to consider the pros and cons of each approach so they can decide which ones to use' -Autism Eye ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 'This book is a deeply informed and knowledgeable compendium of practice which offers the reader a balanced and well described account of the most prominent interventions available. Dr. Kalyva writes in an accessible and engaging way bringing to each approach a healthy scepticism and an enquiring mind.
