Читать книгу Functional Behavior Assessment for People with Autism - Beth Glasberg - Страница 6

Why would Grace destroy her chances of friendship with such violent behaviors? The answers to these questions are just not obvious. Professionals have struggled to understand behavior problems for a very long time. This chapter will give you a quick overview of how our thinking about the causes of, and interventions for, behavior problems has changed over time, and then tie that into the current thinking about why problem behaviors occur so often in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs).
