Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A great manual for parents and professionals
Just beginning in this field, I did not know what to expect concerning the reading material I would have to read and study. Like many naïve people, I assumed most ABA material would be too scientific or difficult to understand. Although I use ABA at work daily, thinking of it as a scientific treatment made me wary that it would be too hard to explain to others or even too difficult to truly understand myself. However, that all changed after I was assigned to read the second chapter in this ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The manual you need
If you want to do ABA with your autistic child, get this manual and the book Overcoming Autism - I have read a dozen books and these are the 2 I go back to time and again. I use this manual as a guide, picking a few lessons a week to build upon. Gives you the focus and direction to know what to do with your child.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Classic ABA book a little out of date
Hi I am a BCBA and Autism Intervention author. I think this is a great book on ABA and has been for many years. The reasons behind why the scientfically validated principles of behavior should lead your home program are well explained in detail and the book offers a useful curriculum for those who do not have access to a Board Certified Behavior Analysts to help you. The issue with this book is that it was written with the the best recommendations of the early to mid 90's much has changed and continues ... Read More
