This book discusses the management of individuals on the autistic spectrum as well as other developmental challenges. It provides an excellent resource guide for parents, caregivers, educators, healthcare workers, psychologists, and everyone involved in the care of differently abled and autistic persons. The approach is practical, and the aim is to try to gain deeper understanding into these conditions. Based on the experience of the staff and parents of the Rainbow Centre, the management is a person-centred, multidisciplinary and quality-of-life focused approach to helping these persons. The book also covers the history and future directions across one's lifespan in the care of these individuals.
