Product Description
Scholarly and empirically based, this market-leading text gives students what they need to understand using the principles and practices of applied behavioral management in the classroom. The content is presented clearly, in a friendly, accessible--even fun--manner. The eighth edition uses classroom-based examples and practices firmly grounded in research. Content is presented in the order of decision-making by a teacher who has a student exhibiting challenging behavior in class or a student who needs to execute a behavior-change project. The text covers identifying target behavior, collecting and graphing data, functional assessment, experimental design, arranging antecedents and consequences, generalizing behavior change and discusses the importance of ethical considerations in using applied behavior analysis in the classroom.

 Understand data collection and applied behavior analysis June 24, 2000
23 out of 23 found this review helpful
One of the best texts on Applied Behavior Analysis! It is extremely user friendly with lots of examples applicable to today's classroom. I've used several editions of this text...as a grad student, a classroom teacher, and now as a college professor. I would highly recommend it to any teacher (or future teacher) or any university instructor as a college text.
Great reference to understand the principles of ABA February 10, 2005

This book was the textbook which was prescribed for a graduate course that I took in Behavior Modification. It is an excellent reference book that clearly explains many of the prinicples on which ABA is based such as the different forms and schedules of reinforcement and the different methods of taking data. Although this book was prescribed for a course I completed well over a year ago, I have referreed to it on multiple occassions in the last year. This book should be in every ABA provider's bookcase.
Excellent intro to ABA for teachers August 18, 2004

As a college professor, I use this text for two different graduate program courses concerning developmental disabilities, special education, and applied behavior analysis. My students, many of whom are studying to become board certified behavior analysts (BCBA) themselves, are able to learn a tremendous amount about the techniques, assessments, ethics, and decision-making processes related to the development of effective behavioral interventions. Semester after semester, they highly recommend this text.
For learning about ABA and relating to school you cannot beat this book... May 12, 2006

My title states it all. The 7th edition trumps the phenomenal 6th edition in it's inclusion of IDEA 2004/NCLB concepts. It is well worth the price difference between this book and most ABA books.
