Description
Understanding Applied Behavior Analysis: An Introduction to ABA for Parents, Teachers, and Other Professionals by Albert J. Kearney. This accessible guide demystifies the principles and procedures of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), explaining complex concepts in everyday language. The second edition reflects recent developments and introduces new key terms, providing a comprehensive introduction to ABA. Kearney explains the underlying learning and reinforcement processes that form the basis of ABA programs, before describing how these principles can be applied to real-life behavior problems. He also explores how behavior is assessed and various intervention techniques used with children who have autism and other special needs. The book touches on more advanced topics, including the applications of ABA in behavioral education, such as precision teaching and programmed instruction.
