"Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is one of the most effective interventions for children with autism spectrum disorders and other disabilities. Now you can bring ABA best practices into any early childhood setting with this book--your complete guide to using ABA within everyday routines to support children's learning, participation, and development. Ideal for use with children from birth to age 5, this practical guidebook is the first to combine ABA with natural environment intervention (NEI), the widely used, research-supported approach to meeting the needs of children with disabilities. You'll learn the fundamental principles and research behind ABA and NEI, and you'll get one clear and practical framework for: conducting effective assessment, setting meaningful goals, addressing the goals, creating powerful intervention plans, selecting the appropriate data collection method, monitoring progress, making adjustments, ensuring consistent implementation, and coaching. With this comprehensive guide to a proven intervention approach, you'll help young children with ASD and other disabilities make lasting improvements and participate fully at home, at school, and in their community."--Back cover.
