Editorial Review
Now in a newly revised edition, this tried-and-true program -designed to develop new patterns of functional behavior for the autistic child at home- has demonstrated its utility for 25 years.
This book begins with an overview of what we know about the mysterious condition called autism, and the historical parade of theories about its causes and treatments. However, the real focus of the book is something of more immediate concern to the families of these children: overcoming the behavioral deficits and the everyday problematic behavior that characterize children with autism.
Dr. Kozloff writes, "Perhaps the most important contribution of the behavioral approach to educating autistic children and training their parents is its assumption concerning change...Whatever the reasons why an autistic child did not learn to play, speak or cooperate, the fact remains that she or he does not know how to do those things now. Treatment within behavioral approaches is designed to teach a child skills which are necessary for participation in the natural community, and also for the realization of his or her intellectual and emotional potentials."
At once a primer in the principles of applied behavior analysis and a detailed account of the successful education of four different children and families (examining what works, what doesn't, and why), this book will give new hope to parents struggling with a child's autism, and to the professionals whose mission it is to help them.

Grounded firmly in experience and behavioral psychology 
2002-11-11
Now in a revised and updated edition, Reaching The Autistic Child: A Parent Training Program by academician, educator, and autism expert Martin A. Kozloff, presents a program created and designed to help the autistic child develop new patterns of behavior to better function in the world. Emphasizing the means to teach a child basic skills of speech and cooperation, and to realize intellectual and emotional potentials, Reaching The Autistic Child consists both of a description of general techniques and several very detailed and positive anecdotal case studies. An excellent guide grounded firmly in experience and behavioral psychology, Reaching The Autistic Child is an essential, core contribution to Autism Studies and Disability Education reference collections and reading lists.
No blame here 
2000-02-06
The London reviewer must have found what he or she wanted to find, but I can't see any parent blaming here. In fact, Kozloff wrote, "...although the behavior of the parents in part maintains the autistic behavior of the child, the parents...cannot be blamed." The rest of the book helps parents to get out of the vicious circles they and their children are stuck in--by showing parents how to teach their children to make eye contact, play, speak, and participate in family routines.
