DESCRIPTION
This book is the result of elaborate and extensive research. Research on autism is at a nascent stage in India and doctoral dissertation on autism is very rare to come by. The entire dissertation is given here in a book form to enable future investigators as this would serve as a handbook and guide. Another special feature of the research is that single subject experimental design is used and the theoretical framework was provided by the theory of Multiple Intelligences. The study has brought to light the fact that the eclectic effect of various therapies with a distinct focus on behavioural therapy which formed the basis of the Strategic Intervention Paradigm devised by the investigator centred on positive reinforcement of desirable behaviour; it has been shown to be successful in improving socially acceptable and appropriate behaviour, functional skills and communication and in reducing inappropriate behaviour such as violence, non-compliance, aggression, self-destructive and obsessional behaviour.
