A Work in Progress. Behavior Management Strategies & A Curriculum for Intensive Behavioral Treatment of Autism

Customer Reviews

Practical, Informative & Accurate

2008-03-24
This book is an excellent resource for anyone wanting to set up formal ABA programming for their child or for anyone who wants to understand the steps of development in specific areas such as making conversation, understanding the difference between yes/no and learning how to read. I found the checklists at the back of the book to be the most helpful. I have had extensive training (as a parent) in ABA principles and Discrete Trial Training procedures and I found that this book was accurate and gave the right amount of detail when I wanted to set up my own programs to be implemented in my home.

A work in progress

2008-03-03
This book is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in behaviorism or anyone who knows a child on the Austic Spectrum.
If this topic isn't your cup of tea, then there's no reason for you to be interested in this book, but if you are into this sort of thing, it's amazing.

Just what I needed

2008-02-10
Right after I got the autism diagnosis for my son I realized that behavioral therapy would be our main focus of treatment and due to financial constraints, I would be the primary therapist.

After reading some really heady and intellectual literature on behavioral therapy I just wanted to scream, "Yes, I know, but tell me what to do!!"

A Work in Progress does just that. It is simply written and easy to use. Look up the behavior you wish to address in the table of contents, turn to the indicated page, and there, clearly written is a step-by-step plan. Brilliant. Just what we needed.

Great Strategies

2007-12-02
This book has great strategies and are all in layman terms for easy understanding. The programs in this book are great for beginners, I just wish they offered more programs. I am hoping that they are going to put out another book with more programs and curriculum for children with severe disabilities. I think this book is helpful for the new special education teacher, as it is very informational. It tells you what materials to use for each program(lesson), and gives advice on substitutions. Overall I think it is worth the money.

Great Resource!

This book is an excellent resource which gives easy to read, step-by-step instructions on how to teach many basic language concepts including grammar, vocabulary, and conversation. As a busy Speech-Pathologist working in a school system, I have found that I consistently pick this book up. It gives me immediate access to planning therapy sessions that are extremely effective! Initially, it was bought for my students with autism. However, I find that I use this resource with all of my language students. This book is a MUST HAVE for any SLP or Special Education teacher!

As an intensive preschool classroom teacher, I bought this book because I didn`t want to share a copy with my co-worker anymore. It`s that great! The ease of use is just outstanding!
