Ethical Applied Behavior Analysis Models for Individuals Impacted by Autism provides teachers, parents, and behavior analysts with a comprehensive analysis of evidence-based, behavior analytic programs for the therapeutic treatment of persons with autism, from infancy through adulthood. Chapters review the characteristics of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), behavior analytic concepts and interventions, and discuss the eight different effective treatment programs, examining each approach's scientific base and value. Fully updated to reflect current research and understanding of autism, this second edition includes new chapters on evaluating high-quality behavior analytic programs, as well as explorations of programs covering the verbal behavior approach and those specially designed for adults.
