Understanding Applied Behavior Analysis: An Introduction to ABA for Parents, Teachers, and Other Professionals Paperback – January 1, 2008

Loved it was an amazing read! This really helped me understand various topics for my positive behavior support class.

This is a good book for anyone! I was going into the ABA field and it helped me a lot. I have passed it on to new RBTs and the trainer at my job

This is a very helpful, clearly written book. If you are a parent of a child recently diagnosed with Autism, I think that you will find this book helpful in providing an overview of what ABA is and is not. For ABA therapists, it's a great beginning reference book. I'm glad it's part of my library and I found it easy to understand. There's a lot of new terminology for those just encountering ABA and this book helps to explain those terms and how they connect to each other and how they'll connect to the what you'll see in your child's plan.

This book is an excellent introduction to Applied Behavioral Analysis. It covers the foundations and vocabulary of ABA. If you're a parent or teacher working with an ABA therapist that uses a lot of jargon, then this book is a must read. My son's therapist does a good job explaining ABA in plain English, but this book still helped me better understand his therapist's perspective. I can pay closer attention to the relevant details of my son's behavior. Those wanting a deeper understanding of ABA will have to read further, but this book is a great place to start.

Is good if you don't know anything abouth behavioral terapy, but it has some theoretical errors and is too basic.

I recommend this book for anyone who knows nothing about applied behavior analysis! It clearly delineates the basic scientific principles upon which the discipline is built. The fact that the treatments and approaches are founded upon past research and not "hunches" about human behavior comes across loud and strong. The terminology is explained in "everyday" language so that any one who is interested does not get bogged down in techncial terms. This problem has plagued those of us who desire others to understand the science.

Very cool book! I landed a job as a behavior therapist and wanted to learn more about ABA therapy before I began the job. This book was written clearly and concisely and gave me great background information that helped me to become better at my job. Highly recommend this to any therapist, teacher, or parent that works with children with special needs!
