Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a method which has been found to be effective in teaching children with autistic spectrum disorders and changing their behaviors. In Raising a Child with Autism, Shira Richman explains how parents can adapt the practical techniques used in ABA for use at home. Richman provides tips and guidelines to increase play skills, improve communication and sibling interactions and increase independence. The book also covers toilet-training, food selectivity, self-dressing and community outings, and includes an overview of the theory behind ABA as well as a list of resources for further reading. It offers parents a practical and effective way to help autistic children interact more successfully with family, friends and school.

About the Author
Shira Richman is a behavior therapy consultant living in Forest Hills, New York. Since attaining her MA in Psychology at New York University, she has worked extensively with children with autistic spectrum disorders and has trained staff in Applied Behavior Analysis.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good how to manual, January 28, 2009
This is a pretty good book. I think it delivers what it promises. it's kinda a quick overview/manual book. I am the parent of a child with Autism and I am always looking for ways to connect with my son. I am always searching for how to communicate with him, how to direct him to follow directions and how to make connections with him.

This book covers some straightforward tips, reminders and tools for parents. Kinda like a high-level how-to book. and it explains the theory behind the ideas it advocates.

The book is kinda thin and has lots of space in the margins, so don't expect an overabundant wealth of information. But this was a nice compliment to my arsenal of ideas on how to communicate with my son.
