No Virtue in Accident: Behavior Analysis and Utopian Literature

What it is: This is a book of warm, readable, personal, informally written case studies, with a point, actually several points. Case studies are always fun to read, these are no exception. Parents of children labeled "autistic" and paraprofessionals and professionals working with the children should find this book interesting, informative, and encouraging, although realistic. The book is full of examples of behavior analysis used to help the children. The book is full of enough technical details to give parents and workers some ideas about how to solve problems, yet those details are presented in a way parents and paraprofessionals can understand them, even with humor. Who's responsible for the book: the editors are Bobby Newman, Dana Reinecke, and Leo Newman. This is the second book of this sort that Bobby has produced, the first one based on his own case studies, this one based on the case studies of a large number of people, and yet these case studies keep Bobby's easy-reading informal, humorous style.

Applied Behavior Analysis has proven to be the most effective means of teaching children diagnosed with autistic-spectrum disorders. ABA is not, however, "one size fits all." Different teaching techniques within ABA must be chosen, based upon student need. In Graduated Applied Behavior Analysis, Dr. Bobby Newman and colleagues describe an approach that alters teaching methodologies based on the functioning level of the student. While there are many schools of thought within ABA, they are all part of the same basic science. Aspects of that science are outlined. Portions of an introductory manual and a study describing the effectiveness of an ABA preschool are included.

If ever there were anywhere that someone who was suffering from a mental illness or behavioral disability should expect to be welcomed, it would be at our religious institutions. Sadly, however, that is often not the case. In The Inherent Worth and Dignity of ALL Individuals: Encouraging Full Participation in Our Unitarian Universalist Congregations, Bobby Newman attempts to create a framework for helping religious institutions to consider the needs of people with mental illness and behavioral disabilities, along with the needs of the rest of the congregation. A framework is described for helping to strike a balance that will protect the rights of all concerned, and help religious institutions come closer to living up to their stated principles. A KINDLE version is now available.
