This book has some good basic insights and ideas. It is easy to understand. The book is fairly dull on the layout and presentation but for a starting place on helping individuals with Autism it has some great ideas.

Easy to read, easy to understand, easy to put into use.

I recommend this book to parents and teachers alike - it is simply written, the methods are effective, and the techniques are grounded in ABA. As a BCBA, this is the book I share with parents and school systems. No one here will try to impress you with technical terms you don't understand; on the contrary, this book will give you tools, and simple explanations of why those tools work. In a nutshell, this book will be in your hands more than on the bookshelf, and you'll feel like you've finally found a resource you can actually use.

The popularity of this book rests on its comprehensive analysis of behavior strategies for the child on the spectrum and the use of over 120 case examples that illustrate those strategies' applications. The authors also point out areas of caution which parents and teachers need to know. Subjects include everything from increasing desired behaviors and communication to crisis and stress management.

I'm glad that I got my hands on this book! It is very comprehensive. The chapters on "Impact of Autism Characteristics" and "Increasing Desired Behaviors", were especially helpful. It really expounded on alot of much needed information that I need as a teacher. I have a boy in my class that has autism disorder and this book really gave me tools that I need to better meet his needs and be a better teacher. I can deal more effectively with him now in the problems that we sometimes encounter in the classroom. Thank you!

A world of great information is shared in this book! Discipline, reinforcement, increasing desired behavior,sensory issues and stress management are just some of the topics that are covered. Sometimes discipline can be very tricky. The variety of behavior strategies definitely give an wide range of methods to deal with the individual. Negative consequences as opposed to punishment is emphasized. It offers some really good information on why physiological needs may impact behavior. It is a great comprehensive source for anyone that may work with individuals with Autism.
