Format:Paperback
My son was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 4. I was lucky enough to have a friend recommend I attend a conference dealing with Applied Behavioral Analysis(ABA). During the break I wandered through the hundreds of books available for purchase in the lobby. Needless to say, I was overwhelmed.
Surrounded by parents of Autistic children, caregivers, special education teachers and psychologists, I decided to ask for help. Each person I asked "which is the best book to buy first?" pointed to "A work in progress".
2 years later this is the book I recommend to anyone interested in learning about ABA, or implementing a behavioral program for their child.
From toilet training to social skills, how to teach imaginative play to basic conversations, Ron Leaf left no stone unturned.
The instructions, explanations and examples are clear and concise. You will learn about ABA and how to implement a home program with this easy to use guide. For professionals and novices alike, this book will be a tremendous help. Though we have moved on to the more advanced "Teach me language", "A work in progress" is always close at hand.
"Nothing is impossible, some things just require more steps"

Format:Paperback
An excellent, comprehensive book that will help you develop a discrete trial training program for a child with autism or other developmentally delayed child. Terrific curriculum, step by step instructions, data sheets. Now if there was a video that went with it, you'd be all set. Great for parents, teachers, practitioners.

Format:Paperback
Finally a book that takes the mystery out of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Many practical examples including an excellant progression for teaching various skills to an autistic child. Emphasis on the need to be flexible to child's skill levels and abilities. Great in-depth descriptions of differential reinforcement and managing difficult behaviors.
Our lead therapist relies on this book to keep my son's intensive program on-track in between workshops. The book is also an invaluable tool when training new therapists and helping parents of newly diagnosed children.
