Description
Book SynopsisThis handbook addresses evidence-based practices in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It provides an overview of the history of evidence-based practices and their importance as applied to the law, school settings, and factors that influence the use for treatment of ASD. Additional areas of coverage include evidence-based and non-evidence-based ABA interventions for autism as well as decision-making ethics related to these treatments. In addition, the book addresses cultural considerations as they relate to these treatments and examines procedural aspects of ABA interventions for autism.
Key ABA treatments addressed include:
- Discrete trial teaching.
- Pivotal response training.
- Video modeling.
- Parent-mediated intervention.
- Early Start Denver Model, PEAK, PECS, and AAC.
- Script fading/activity schedules and differential reinforcement/extinction.
- Response interruption and redirection.
- Self-management and self-monitoring.
The Handbook of Applied Behavior Analysis Interventions for Autism is a must-have resource for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians, therapists, and other professionals across such interrelated disciplines as clinical child, school, and developmental psychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, social work, rehabilitation medicine/therapy, pediatrics, and special education.
