Book Description

0966526678 978-0966526677 June 2002
This excellent new manual and CD is geared towards helping the reader integrate important theories and concepts from ABA into powerful, practical and comprehensive educational programming, from assessment through program methodology and evaluation of results. Topic summaries, key concepts, question lists and references are found throughout the manual, along with reproducible data forms in order to organize and expedite program development.

The book and CD were designed specifically as a resource for special educators, parents, and program coordinators in various stages of organizing and implementing their ABA programs. Through clear language, illustrations, tables and real-life examples, the topics covered include basic ABA concepts; teaching formats; the principles, merits and clinical applications of discrete trials; incidental teaching; teaching language and social skills; inclusion; curriculum planning and evaluation, among many others.

The included CD-Rom, titled The Consultant’s Companion, allows you to select, organize and manage curriculum goals for individual students. Based on the curriculum described in A Work In Progress, this software features over 500 goals in 54 areas, allowing users to easily choose goals, maintain updated program lists and track mastered skills. Users can generate reports of present and mastered curriculum with the click of a button and create goal databases for any number of students. Easily learned and intuitive to use, this program helps keep the educational team organized and on-track.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good overview of ABA therapy, August 6, 2009
By 
Busy Parent (Perth, Western Australia Australia) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The ABA Program Companion: Organizing Quality Programs for Children With Autism and PDD (Paperback)
A very well written book which is easy to read and is good value. I would recommend it be used in conjunction with " A Work in Progress" by Leaf and McEachlin to understand ABA therapy for Autism. "The ABA Program Companion" book gives an overview of what ABA is, rather than a specific program. A "Work in Progress" gives a specific comprehensive program especially suited for a younger child.
As a parent (and qualified school teacher), I have used the book to give my son therapy whilst waiting for Professional Services to become available and found it most useful.
You may want to borrow a copy instead of buying it, if you are a parent as it mainly provides background information.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Invaluable Godsend!, March 19, 2011
This review is from: The ABA Program Companion: Organizing Quality Programs for Children With Autism and PDD (Paperback)
This excellent book is well written and presents information in a clear and direact way. Readers learn about Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy and what it is rather than about programs using it. Instead, readers learn about the concept of ABA and how ABA can be helpful in working with chldren who have autism. Parents of children with autism will most likely make their book a close friend because of the factual information it provides and also use it in working with their children. Teachers also will get a lot out of this book. The background information is invaluable.
