dc.description.abstract | The report summarizes the literature to date, which have focused on clarifying the diagnostic characteristics and describing anecdotal interventions of Asperger Syndrome. The suggested interventions include "structured and focused" supportive psychotherapy (Barnhill, 2001; Lord & Volkmar, 2002) to address life stressors that go along with the diagnosis and Applied Behavioral Analysis (Ozonoff, Dawson, & McPartland, 2002). The field of special education has generated a variety of suggestions for community and school-based interventions that have not been empirically evaluated. These descriptive interventions, however, may be useful in the provision of community-based mental health services to children and adolescents with Asperger Syndrome. The authors encourage collaboration across all community entities that the child or adolescent with Asperger Syndrome may encounter. Additional resources for this population may be realized through increased collaboration with the Community Developmental Disability Organizations, Schools, and Independent Living Centers (as the youth transition to adulthood).
