Autism Spectrum Disorders from Theory to Practice

Assessment and Intervention Tools Across the Lifespan

By: Belinda Daughrity,Ashley Wiley Johnson

Autism Spectrum Disorders from Theory to Practice Apply the latest ASD theory to assessment and intervention in real-world clinical environments In Autism Spectrum Disorders from Theory to Practice, a team of experienced interventionists deliver a practical application of modern theory regarding autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) to common, real-world clinical situations. Hands-on guidance is paired with advice on culturally appropriate and responsive practices informed by professionals who collectively have over 40 years of combined speech pathology experience. The work of special contributors like Dr. Pamela Wiley, who is the Founder and President of the Los Angeles Speech and Language Therapy Center, appears alongside evidence-based ASD intervention instruction that draws from the latest studies and from the authors’ assessments and interventions with clients from a diverse range of backgrounds. When combined with the reader’s own professional competence, clinical experiences, and continuing education, this book is a powerful resource that will improve patient outcomes. Autism Spectrum Disorders readers will also find: Personal anecdotes from the authors’ clinical practices to help illustrate the application of the concepts discussed within Active Learning Tasks that educators can use to promote learning activities that encourage direct engagement with the material Helpful and illustrative diagrams included throughout the text to help elucidate points and clarify information in each chapter Goal Spotlights that provide sample intervention goals practitioners can use with actual clients with autism Reflection Letters in which individuals from various perspectives and backgrounds—from autism researchers to developmental psychologists, advocates such as Holly Robinson Peete, and adults thriving with autism—describe their experiences Autism Spectrum Disorders from Theory to Practice is a useful reference for new and experienced practitioners in the field of autism research, speech-language pathologists, developmental psychologists, adapted physical education teachers, professors, and those affected by ASD in their everyday life.

Animal Models for the Study of Human Disease

Chapter 14. Animal Models for Manipulation of Thermogenesis

By: Belinda A. Henry,Iain J. Clarke

Body weight is determined by the balance between energy intake and energy expenditure. Obesity ensues when energy intake exceeds that of energy expenditure. To date, the majority of pharmaco-therapies to control body weight have been directed towards the appetitive limb of this energy balance equation. Very few anti-obesity agents target the manipulation of energy expenditure. The recent unequivocal demonstration that functional brown adipose tissue is present in adult humans has sparked a great deal of interest in developing means to exploit thermogenesis to control body weight. Thermogenesis is defined as the dissipation of energy through the production of heat and occurs in specialised tissues including brown adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. This chapter will highlight a number of animal models that are currently utilised in effort to understand the mechanisms that underpin thermogenesis. It will describe the control of thermogenesis in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue as well as detailing the role of thermogenesis in determining the susceptibility to obesity in a number of distinct animal models.

Within contemporary society the themes of globalization, health and regulation interlock in complex patterns, changing in response to the mix of cultural differences, regulatory preferences and available resources. To turn the kaleidoscope and to change the mix is to change the pattern. This book is about those patterns as they arise in the contemporary legal, health and ethical context, exploring the transformations and challenges brought by technological change and the regulatory options in the contemporary global village.
