The 13 articles are organized around four areas: 1) screening and early intervention; 2) technology; 3) prevention; and 4) accommodation, accessibility, and communication. Together the authors discuss a wide range of potential challenges. However, importantly, the authors also provide a wealth of resources for individuals, families, and health care providers.
