SOURCES: Literature & Expertise
Our families and service providers may easily find, or not be able to find the sources of literature and expertise about Autism we are needing. These SOURCES pages are a way to just begin the journey to find all of the relevant information, experienced family peers, and professional expertise we all need.
The purpose of these Sources pages is to provide key references to lay and scholarly texts on the Autism Spectrum and centers of Autism practice expertise and important research activities. We can then generate useable knowledge by integrating BIOMEDICAL, EDUCATIONAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, SOCIOLOGICAL, and DEVELOPMENTAL literature and transdisiplinary professional expertise. This "knowledge brokerage" approach affords the Autism community members access to the most relevant kinds of information we may need for ourselves as lay and professional researchers and for our care and service group of people with Autism and our audience of family and service providers. This will offer us the same reliable information system any community requires to function well.
The goal of this SOURCE section is provide and annotate useful family books and professional texts and some of the authors and universities that can offer access to these Sources. Because Threshold uses a developmental systems approach, more initial networking sources for Behavioral, and Eclectic model approaches can be found here. Those Sources can provide up-to-date sources. There will be more depth in our own Human Development and Diversity sources, since these are the theory and practice approaches we are most familiar with as an organization and provider to people with Autism.
