Graduated Applied Behavior Analysis

$25.00 via Amazon

Applied Behavior Analysis has proven to be the most effective means of teaching children diagnosed with autistic-spectrum disorders. ABA is not, however, “one size fits all.” Different teaching techniques within ABA must be chosen, based upon student need. In Graduated Applied Behavior Analysis, Dr. Bobby Newman and colleagues describe an approach that alters teaching methodologies based on the functioning level of the student. While there are many schools of thought within ABA, they are all part of the same basic science. Aspects of that science are outlined. Portions of an introductory manual and a study describing the effectiveness of an ABA preschool are included.

A Review of Graduated Applied Behavior Analysis

An excellent book from the prolific Bobby Newman. This is Bobby's third book on the application of behavior analysis to helping children with autism. All three books, are excellent reads--warm, humanistic, humorous, informal, and anecdotal (case-studyish), easy, fun, but not condescending, written for parents, trainers, tutors, and teachers of autistic children. Not only are these books easy reads, but they are also valuable reads; each book makes serious points, and the books are not redundant with each other, nor are they redundant with any other autism books. I recommend them to my undergrad and grad students working with autistic children.

Once I started reading this book, I could not put it down until I'd finished it--rare for me.

In addition to the case studies, this book also gives how-to-apply-behavior-analysis details and an excellent outcome study empirically demonstrating the power of applied behavior analysis to improve the quality of the student lives.

Other contributors to this book are Sarah Birch, Frederica Blausten, and Dana Reinecke.
