This text is a useful introduction to ABA for parents and professionals working with children with autism. Successful child rearing is an essential skill for any parent. For most of us this skill is handed down from our own parents and society in general, where we bring up our children using skills based largely upon common sense and a willingness to do our best. However, when it comes to more difficult aspects of developing skills in our children, we need something more dependable than good will. Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA), the systematic implementation of scientifically proven behavioural principles offers just that. Aimed at enhancing people's lives in ways that they or their carers feel are important, it includes a variety of methods and techniques which can be used to promote, decrease or maintain skills for daily living.

This review is from: Parents' Education as Autism Therapists: Applied Behaviour Analysis in Context (Paperback)
This book is great and "user friendly" for the parent who is looking to start a home program. Better info and easier to digest than many of the books available. An excellent first book if you are thinking of ABA for your child.
