You’ll learn the fundamental principles and research behind ABA and natural environment intervention, and you’ll get **one clear and practical framework for**

To get you started with ABA, the book gives you **25 sample teaching plans** that strengthen communication, social interaction, positive behavior, independent play and daily living skills, cognitive skills, and participation in everyday routines. Vivid, realistic case studies of diverse children walk you through the ABA process from start to finish. And with the blank forms and data sheets, you’ll easily assess children’s skills and participation and monitor their progress toward goals.

### Mary Weiss, Director, Autism and Applied Behavior Analysis Program & Professor, Endicott College, MA 
> “Fills a gap in the implementation literature . . . The author has taken great care to decipher the maze of the treatment options world.”

### Lynn Koegel, Clinical Director, Koegel Autism Center; Director, Eli and Edythe L. Broad Center for Asperger Research, University of California, Santa Barbara
> “A comprehensive and practical guide to many important intervention issues . . . both positive and informative, with recommendations that will help a child with autism reach his or her potential.”

### Mary Noonan, Professor, Department of Special Education, University of Hawaii
> “Too often behavioral interventions for young children with autism are implemented in isolated and artificial situations that result in a child's failure to acquire new skills. This book provides the much-needed framework for how to implement these proven methods in inclusive settings to promote generalization.”
