A renowned team of professionals sift the sense from the nonsense in assessing the approaches to the treatment of autism. In a field exploding with alternative treatments, choosing the best course of action for the child with autism can be a daunting task. The authors offer compelling practical evidence of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) as the most reliable approach to education, and provide a much needed antidote to other treatments lacking empirical data. The editors begin by providing an overview of ABA, debunking common myths and describing its origins in the Lovaas method and UCLA's Young Autism Project, which first demonstrated what children could accomplish under controlled conditions. They show how Discrete Trial Teaching-individualized learning strategies-has evolved, and identify the pros and cons of specific autism treatments. They define their own mission as protecting the integrity of behavioral intervention for children. This book surveys complementary and alternative medical strategies as well, stressing the need for parents to cast a critical eye before choosing new therapies or moving from one mode of therapy to another. The editors maintain that only through extensive field testing and careful scientific analysis is it possible to distinguish treatments that can be expected to produce significant changes. They encourage parents to look at treatment that has been scientifically investigated and subjected to independent verification. Written in expert yet accessible language, this is an ideal resource for parents navigating through the maze of current ASD therapies. Topics covered include: the Origin of ABA; ABA as a Scientific Method; Alternative Treatments of ABA: What is the Science?; Home vs. School: Which Side are you On?; ASD and the IEP; How Realistic is the Aim for Recovery; Sense and Nonsense about Inclusion; and the Road Map to Successful Integration.

In this comprehensive guide, Autism Partnership provides a detailed framework for implementing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), the most widely used and thoroughly studied autism treatment, in classroom settings. The contributors to this invaluable book, all practitioners in ABA, chart an accessible, step-by-step strategy based on the specific needs of students, staff and district. This includes staff and personnel training, evaluation and ongoing performance of the program. As it outlines the underlying philosophy and vision of an ABA-focused curriculum, this guide carefully maps out the best approach for a successful preschool and early education classroom and in the process, offers a more natural learning environment for the child with autism. Autism Partnership provides valuable support and ABA training in the classroom setting. Their ABA classroom model has been used in some of the largest school districts in the United States, namely Las Virgenes Unified School District in California, Clark County School District in Nevada, Los Alamitos Unified School District, and Knox County Schools in Tennessee. With the publication of It s Time for School! they broaden their reach, making it possible for all schools to take an important first step in setting up system-wide services to address the needs of children diagnosed with autism.
