The SAGE Handbook of Autism and Education provides a comprehensive overview of educating individuals with autism and it includes many impressive features.  The Handbook covers a range of perspectives and social-ecological influences from broad international perspectives, socio-political systems, and cross-cultural considerations to specific characteristics of individuals, both educators and those with autism.  The Handbook emphasizes the critical roles of families and includes perspectives of parents and voices of autistic individuals.  There is clear appreciation for the uniqueness of individuals with autism across the lifespan.  The Handbook emphasizes evidence-based practice that includes various domains of functioning and covers critical transitions across the lifespan.  The team of contributors is equally impressive and includes international leaders across various educational specialties.  I am confident the Handbook will be well-received by a broad audience.

Jonathan M. Campbell
Professor, Department of Educational, School and Counseling Psychology, University of Kentucky College of Education

This handbook comes at a critical time in the history of schooling.  Children with autism are one of the fastest growing populations in our school system, and teaching staff are under tremendous pressure to provide adequate supports.  Readers will find a broad array of topics across the schooling age span that are research informed and can provide a road map for implementing effective school practices.  Such information is critical for both the practitioners and the individuals who train them.
