See all formats and editions

This excellent new manual and CD is geared towards helping the reader integrate important theories and concepts from ABA into powerful, practical and comprehensive educational programming, from assessment through program methodology and evaluation of results. Topic summaries, key concepts, question lists and references are found throughout the manual, along with reproducible data forms in order to organize and expedite program development.

The book and CD were designed specifically as a resource for special educators, parents, and program coordinators in various stages of organizing and implementing their ABA programs. Through clear language, illustrations, tables and real-life examples, the topics covered include basic ABA concepts; teaching formats; the principles, merits and clinical applications of discrete trials; incidental teaching; teaching language and social skills; inclusion; curriculum planning and evaluation, among many others.

The included CD-Rom, titled The Consultants Companion, allows you to select, organize and manage curriculum goals for individual students. Based on the curriculum described in A Work In Progress, this software features over 500 goals in 54 areas, allowing users to easily choose goals, maintain updated program lists and track mastered skills. Users can generate reports of present and mastered curriculum with the click of a button and create goal databases for any number of students. Easily learned and intuitive to use, this program helps keep the educational team organized and on-track.

Busy Parent

A good overview of ABA therapy

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2009

Verified Purchase

A very well written book which is easy to read and is good value. I would recommend it be used in conjunction with " A Work in Progress" by Leaf and McEachlin to understand ABA therapy for Autism. "The ABA Program Companion" book gives an overview of what ABA is, rather than a specific program. A "Work in Progress" gives a specific comprehensive program especially suited for a younger child.
As a parent (and qualified school teacher), I have used the book to give my son therapy whilst waiting for Professional Services to become available and found it most useful.
You may want to borrow a copy instead of buying it, if you are a parent as it mainly provides background information.

The book outlines programs that are actually being used in schools. Very helpful. This is a best guide for application.

Disappointed.

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2012

There really wasn't anything in here that I didn't already know. It was missing information like samples of different forms and a DVD which you could use if you had the book.

Useless if you own a mac

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2013

Verified Purchase

Included CD is not mac compatible. Therefore, cannot access the programs. It also talks about an updated software that never apparently happened. Waste of money.
