Synopsis
This accessible guide demystifies Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for parents and professionals and shows how it can be used to teach speech and language, social, motor, and adaptive skills to children with autism through a system of repetition, reward, and goal adjustment. "Right from the Start" discusses the teaching method known as Intensive Behavioral Intervention (IBI), of which ABA is the central component, and explains how to choose a program using IBI. Curriculum, professional roles, parent involvement, inclusion, and the pros and cons of home-based versus center-based programs are all covered. An excellent beginning for parents of young children with autism and related disorders.
