This authoritative resource, now thoroughly revised for DSM-5, has set the standard for the comprehensive assessment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Leading experts demonstrate how to craft a scientifically grounded profile of each child's strengths and difficulties, make a formal diagnosis, and use assessment data to guide individualized intervention in clinical and school settings. Chapters review state-of-the-art instruments and approaches for evaluating specific areas of impairment in ASD and co-occurring emotional and behavioral disorders. Considerations in working with children of different ages are highlighted. With a primary focus on children, several chapters also address assessment of adolescents and adults.
New to This Edition
*Chapter on key implications of DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, plus related updates throughout the volume.
*Chapter on advances in early identification (ages 0-3).
*Chapter with in-depth case examples illustrating the evaluation decision-making process and common diagnostic challenges.
*Chapters on pseudoscience (including strategies for advising parents) and future directions in the field.
*Current assessment data, numerous new and revised measures, and cutting-edge screening approaches.

"This remarkable book provides a comprehensive guide to assessment
of individuals on the spectrum, across the continuum of
development. The extensively updated second edition includes a
detailed overview of DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and their
application. Much more than an inventory of measurement tools
(although for the interested reader, the full range of relevant
measures are reviewed in exquisite detail), the book explores both
the art and science of using psychometric assessment to understand
the diversity of abilities and needs of individuals on the
spectrum. The contributors also offer rich insights about
intervention in clinical and educational settings and address such
important contemporary issues as the cognitive potential of
minimally verbal individuals and the importance of understanding
sex differences. A vital, in-depth reference for anyone involved in
assessing ASD and its complex comorbidities."--Lonnie Zwaigenbaum,
MD, Division Director, Developmental Pediatrics; Professor,
Department of Pediatrics; and Stollery Children’s Hospital
Foundation Chair in Autism, University of Alberta, Canada
"If there is one constant in the field of autism, it is the state
of flux. Diagnosis, assessment, and treatment are all areas where
professionals in the field must work to keep up to date with the
science. This timely second edition is a 'must have' for serious
autism researchers as well as all professionals and advanced
students involved in diagnosis and assessment. It includes
well-chosen chapter topics, in-depth coverage of major issues and
techniques, helpful case studies, and even a chapter on the pesky
pseudoscience that dogs the field. Discussions of historic and
future directions provide a nice context for the current state of
the art."--Laura Schreibman, PhD, Distinguished Professor Emeritus
and Research Professor, Department of Psychology, University of
California, San Diego
"Goldstein and Ozonoff have assembled an excellent compendium of
cutting-edge information on assessment of people with ASD. Each
chapter contributes a layer of knowledge applicable to basic and
complex assessment issues. I will definitely keep this volume close
at hand for my own clinical practice and as an essential training
guide."--Catherine E. Rice, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry and
Behavioral Sciences and Director, Emory Autism Center, Emory
University School of Medicine -
