Applied Behavior Analysis for Clinical, Educational, and Training Applications

The rapid advancement in the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA) over the last several decades, is likely attributable to the success in application to supporting the needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorder/autistic individuals. Yet, the power and potential of ABA is not in application to a specific area, but to any area of social significance. Applied Behavior Analysis for Clinical, Educational, and Training Applications provides a comprehensive discussion of the applications that ABA professionals could apply their skill set to. This volume introduces the three top areas of application for ABA skills: Clinical, Educational, and Training, including pediatric psychology, juvenile correction services and applied animal behavior. Each chapter will review how behavior analysts can use their conceptual, basic, and translational training and apply it to actual practice. The aim of this book is to not only provide readers with the skills, knowledge, and experience to enter any of these fields, bult ultimately succeed.
