Tony Attwood Presents Asperger's Diagnostic Assessment

Presented as an informal lecture these two DVDs provide clear and succinct information on the diagnostic criteria for Asperger syndrome. In the first of these DVDs Attwood covers speech and language characteristics, motor difficulties, cognitive challenges and special interests. Also included is a `first-time' interview with a child and a separate interview with his parents. The second disk presents a profile of Asperger Syndrome in girls and the diagnostic criteria for adults as well as offering advice on how to explain a diagnosis to the adult or child. Attwood's sensitive and straightforward advice will prove invaluable for child and educational psychologist, speech therapists, parents, teachers and psychiatrists working with people with Asperger syndrome
