Autism and Joint Attention Author: Peter C. Mundy

ISBN: 9781462525096 Format: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 350 Published: 15 February 2016 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 22.9 x 15.2 x 2.8 Description: From a preeminent researcher, this book looks at the key role of joint attention in both typical and atypical development. Peter C. Mundy shows that no other symptom dimension is more strongly linked to early identification and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

He synthesizes a wealth of knowledge on how joint attention develops, its neurocognitive underpinnings, and how it helps to explain the learning, language, and social-cognitive features of ASD across the lifespan. Clinical implications are explored, including reviews of cutting-edge diagnostic methods and targeted treatment approaches.
