Publisher's Synopsis
Most applied behavior analysis (ABA) texts rely heavily on research findings and technical theory, making them inaccessible for use by everyday teachers. Applied Behavior Analysis in Schools: Realistic Implementation of Evidence-Based Interventions by Teachers aims to be the missing link between books on classroom interventions within teacher preparation programs.
Dr. R. Nicolle Carr leverages her years of expertise with ABA and channels it into creating practical, realistic working models of ABA that any teacher can use. Her "by teachers, for teachers" approach to writing effectively outlines ABA strategies so that they can be used with few resources and minimal training.
Applied Behavior Analysis in Schools is tailored toward future and current educators to enable them to learn invaluable tools like how to effectively take data in a classroom to help with academic performance or behavior management-without requiring them to possess a background in ABA.
What's included in Applied Behavior Analysis in Schools:
- Chapters on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
- The role of cultural considerations and collaboration skills
- Use of ABA in transition skills
- Applying ABA to academics and an overview of assessments
Included with the text are online supplemental materials for faculty use in the classroom.
Applied Behavior Analysis in Schools: Realistic Implementation of Evidence-Based Interventions by Teachers takes the concepts of ABA and presents them to teachers in a way that is both approachable and applicable.
