Focusing on balancing functional and academic social communication needs and skills, as well as needs in the home, school, and community, they explain the disorder and the characteristics and learning styles of individuals with it, including how features affect learning, communication, and behavior. They describe assessment, evidence-based practices for intervention, and methods for improving interpersonal communication and communication for learning.
