Author: Albert Kearney. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is based on the premise that behavior can be influenced by changes in the environment and by the reinforcing consequences of that behavior. This introductory guide to ABA demystifies the basic terminology, underlying principles, and commonly used procedures in accessible, everyday language. Albert J. Kearney explains the learning and reinforcement processes that underlie ABA programs. Having covered these essential principles, he describes how the science of behavior analysis can be effectively applied to real-life behavior problems. He looks at how behavior is assessed and various intervention techniques that are often employed with children who have autism and other special needs. Having laid these essential foundations, Kearney touches on more advanced topics: the applications of ABA in behavioral education, such as precision teaching and programmed instruction. Clear, accessible, and easy to follow, this book is an essential introduction to the discipline of ABA and its applications for parents and professionals.
