Customer Reviews

Teach yourself to teach kids!

This detailed how to book offers a variety of technical interventions and some neccessary theory surrounding Applied Behavior Analysis. It also presents a variety of explanations and examples for classroom use. I really enjoyed the read and highly recommend it. My students also found it usefull!

For learning about ABA and relating to school you cannot beat this book...

My title states it all. The 7th edition trumps the phenomenal 6th edition in it's inclusion of IDEA 2004/NCLB concepts. It is well worth the price difference between this book and most ABA books.

Great reference to understand the principles of ABA

This book was the textbook which was prescribed for a graduate course that I took in Behavior Modification. It is an excellent reference book that clearly explains many of the prinicples on which ABA is based such as the different forms and schedules of reinforcement and the different methods of taking data. Although this book was prescribed for a course I completed well over a year ago, I have referreed to it on multiple occassions in the last year. This book should be in every ABA provider's bookcase.

Excellent intro to ABA for teachers

As a college professor, I use this text for two different graduate program courses concerning developmental disabilities, special education, and applied behavior analysis. My students, many of whom are studying to become board certified behavior analysts (BCBA) themselves, are able to learn a tremendous amount about the techniques, assessments, ethics, and decision-making processes related to the development of effective behavioral interventions. Semester after semester, they highly recommend this text.

Understand data collection and applied behavior analysis

One of the best texts on Applied Behavior Analysis! It is extremely user friendly with lots of examples applicable to today's classroom. I've used several editions of this text...as a grad student, a classroom teacher, and now as a college professor. I would highly recommend it to any teacher (or future teacher) or any university instructor as a college text.
