Demystifying Autism Spectrum Disorders (Topics in Autism Series): A Guide to Diagnosis for Parents and Professionals

Author: Carolyn Thorwath Bruey

Parents of a child with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) need clear, comprehensive information to decipher the complex, behavior-based diagnostic evaluations and definitions. This invaluable guide for lay readers -- parents, educators, and caregivers -- describes the five developmental disorders that fall under the ASD umbrella, spells out the distinctions among them, demystifies the technical jargon, and provides an overview of treatment.

Written by an experienced psychologist and behavior consultant, Demystifying Autism Spectrum Disorders is an excellent tool for parents who don't fully understand their child's diagnosis or wonder whether there is another ASD diagnosis that's more appropriate for their child. It's also useful to parents who suspect their child has an ASD but doesn't yet have a diagnosis.

With Demystifying Autism Spectrum Disorders, parents will have the confidence to participate in their child's diagnostic process and thus be better prepared to understand and play a critical role in their child's treatment.

Strength Band Training

Author: Phil Pag

Maximize your strength, speed, and power through the use of resistance bands and tubing. As a complete workout on their own or a supplement to free weights and machines, strength bands are the ultimate tool for customizing workouts and isolating muscles. And the portable bands and tubing make the perfect travel workout.

Strength Band Training shows how to use resistive bands and tubing in 106 exercises addressing every major muscle group. These exercises have been used by strength professionals and many top athletes because the bands and tubing allow you to add resistance in multiple directions-something free weights and machines can't do. As a result, your resistance routine can simulate sport demands, strengthening core and supporting muscles or targeting specific rehabilitation needs.

Easy to adjust, bands and tubing are designed to provide resistance for users at any level of strength and ability. Add Strength Band Training to your conditioning program for the most complete and versatile workouts possible.
