"As a practitioner committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based care, I found A Practical Guide for Finding Interventions that Work for Autistic People, Second Edition to be an indispensable resource. Wilczynski’s focus on culturally sensitive, person-centered approaches fills a critical gap in our field, offering practical tools and insights for selecting interventions that are both effective and respectful of client autonomy. The inclusion of new chapters on diversity affirmation and ethics further elevates this guide, making it a must-read for any behavior analyst dedicated to social validity and meaningful client outcomes." -- Mychal Machado, Ph.D., BCBA-D, LBA, University of Alaska Anchorage
"Every practitioner and trainee who works with or aspires to work with autistic people should read this book. It goes beyond evidence-based practice to integrating compassion and respect with effective practice to recognize the impact of and honor the experience of autistic people with intersectional identities. The perspectives of autistic people who have shared concerns about the way they are treated come through loud and clear to motivate and inspire practitioners to prioritize autonomy, dignity, and the individual’s preferences, when identifying effective and culturally adapted interventions. about making ethical decisions. This book will be required reading in our BCBA preparation program!" -- Jennifer McComas, The University of Minnesota, College of Education and Human Development
