What is Applied Behavior Analysis? What will happen when an ABA therapist comes into my home? Most importantly, how can ABA help my child? This quick guide answers all of the common questions that parents have when beginning an in-home ABA program. ABA is an effective intervention for children with autism and other developmental disorders, but all of the data collection, reinforcement, and strange lingo can be confusing for parents who are not familiar with ABA therapy. Concise and practical, this handbook explains the ins and outs of Applied Behavior Analysis in a chatty question and answer format addressing everything parents need to know from what a typical session will entail, to how to navigate their relationship with their therapist, to how to get more involved and begin using ABA methods themselves. This book is an ideal introduction for parents to help them understand and get the most out of their child's ABA treatment. It will also be a useful resource for newly-qualified ABA therapists and for ABA agencies to use with clients.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) can be beneficial to encourage communication for early childhood special needs children that are nonverbal, minimally verbal, or late talking toddlers. This book introduces errorless teaching that is used to teach preschool learning activities and concepts without errors or mistakes by the child. ABA methods for kids can help to avoid or decrease frustration by making learning fun by building confidence and enthusiasm with teaching instructions. Selecting preferred reinforcement is discussed so new skills, as well as self-control and patience can be rewarded. Teaching techniques for receptive and expressive language skills for children with autism spectrum disorders are provided. This includes helpful methods to talk with your toddler and encourage communication. There are instructions for making your own story books so they can be used to develop basic concepts that will help to prepare children for kindergarten readiness skills. Another part of ABA therapy is behavior control to decrease challenging or inappropriate behavior such as aggression or self-injury behavior (SIB). This book does not address these issues because they are not always present with nonverbal children. This book should not be a substitute for advice from a BCBA, SLP, Early Intervention Specialist or any other professional that can work one-on-one with a child.

Behavior analysis, a rapidly growing profession, began with the use and application of conditioning and learning techniques to modify the behavior of children or adults presenting severe management problems, often because of developmental disabilities. Now behavior analysts work in a variety of settings, from clinics and schools to workplaces. Especially since their practice often involves aversive stimuli or punishment, they confront many special ethical challenges. Recently, the Behavior Analysis Certification Board codified a set of ten fundamental ethical guidelines to be followed by all behavior analysts and understood by all students and trainees seeking certification. This book shows readers how to follow the BACB guidelines in action. The authors first describe core ethical principles and then explain each guideline in detail, in easily comprehensible, everyday language. The text is richly illuminated by more than a hundred vivid case scenarios about which the authors pose, and later answer questions for readers. Useful appendices include the BACB Guidelines, an index to them, practice scenarios, and suggested further reading. Practitioners, instructors, supervisors, students, and trainees alike will welcome this invaluable new aid to professional development.
