• BUILDING BRIDGES IN BARCELONA - Forging links between the biomedical and educational approaches to autism. A full report from the Great Plains autism conference in Barcelona, Spain. Dr Eric Schopler, founder of the TEACCH programme in North Carolina; a leading Spanish TEACCH proponent, Dr Juan Martos, and a prominent Spanish LOVAAS practitioner, Dr Asún Puche, explain why educational methods are such powerful tools for bringing about improvements in children with autism.
