I read this as part of a graduate ABA training program and was impressed with its accessibility, readability, and straightforwardness. In particular, I feel this is an excellent guide for parents and caregivers of people (primarily children) with autism. I wish my family had had this resource throughout my sister’s diagnosis and the subsequent learning curve for us all.
This book is pretty much FBA101 and is good for beginners or those who have never done a functional behavior assessment. I got it hoping for more insight into strateges for particular behaviors that are challenging with individuals with autism. This was a real let down for me.
