Given the vast amount of research related to behavioral assessment, it is difficult for clinicians to keep abreast of new developments. In recent years, there have been advances in assessment, case conceptualization, treatment planning, treatment strategies for specific disorders, and considerations of new ethical and legal issues. Keeping track of advances requires monitoring diverse resources limited to specific disorders, many of which give short shrift to child assessment, overlooking developmental considerations. Much of the existing literature is either theoretical/research in focus or clinical in nature. Nowhere are the various aspects of child behavioral assessment placed in a comprehensive research/clinical context, nor is there much integration as to conceptualization and treatment planning. The Clinician's Handbook of Child Behavioral Assessment was created to fill this gap, summarizing critical information for child behavioral assessment in a single source. The Clinician's Handbook of Child Behavioral Assessment provides a single source for understanding new developments in this field, cutting across strategies, techniques, and disorders. Assessment strategies are presented in context with the research behind those strategies, along with discussions of clinical utility, and how assessment and conceptualization fit in with treatment planning. The volume is organized in three sections, beginning with general issues, followed by evaluations of specific disorders and problems, and closing with special issues. To ensure cross chapter consistency in the coverage of disorders, these chapters are formatted to contain an introduction, assessment strategies, research basis, clinical utility, conceptualization and treatment planning, a case study, and summary. Special issue coverage includes child abuse assessment, classroom assessment, behavioral neuropsychology, academic skills problems, and ethical-legal issues. Suitable for beginning and established clinicians in practice, this handbook will provide a ready reference toward effective child behavioral assessment.

This handbook provides an overview of the nature, prevalence, and causes of sleep problems in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and examines the process of using functional behavior assessment (FBA) to treat sleep disorders. It describes several evidence-based treatments and explores how these align with the outcomes of the FBA process, including case illustrations of the assessment and treatment process. The handbook discusses the application of FBA in family contexts, including: The effects on children and families of successful interventions with sleep. How to conduct FBA with clinically complex families. Including the child in the intervention. The evidence of efficacy of other treatment approaches. The handbook addresses sleep problems that are highly prevalent among children and young people with ASD, including sleep onset delay, frequent and prolonged night waking, and unwanted co-sleeping. It explores the profound secondary effects that sleep problems may have on children’s daytime functioning as well as child and parent health and wellbeing. The handbook discusses the causes of sleep problems in individuals with ASD, which may be multifaceted and complex and include physiological, environmental, cognitive etiologies yet almost always have a behavioral or learned component. It examines how FBA can be used to characterize challenging behaviors and identify the antecedents (e.g., environmental context) and consequences that affect such behaviors. The volume details the process of using FBA to assess and treat sleep problems in children with ASD. Clinical Handbook of Behavioural Sleep Treatment in Autism is a must-have resource for clinicians, therapists, and other practitioners as well as researchers and graduate students in clinical child and school psychology, behavioral therapy, social work, public health, developmental psychology, pediatrics, family studies, and child and adolescent psychiatry.
