 Purpose of this book? December 22, 2008
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
What is the purpose of this book? If the purpose is to convey information to the reader, it is a gigantic failure. If the purpose of the book is to try and dazzle other professors, it may be a partial success.
I have a Masters degree in this field, and was not at all impressed. The use technical terminology is excessive by a factor of 10. For example, in defining the word "reinforcement", the autor uses the term "reinforcement" to explain what "reinforcement" means. No too impressive for folks who claim to be experts in learning theory.
I work professionally in this field, and was very disappointed. This work is another example of "institution building", with the ABA certification board being the institution trying to perpetuate itself.
 Perfect for its purpose December 1, 2008
This book is perfect for its purpose. Just wish that it was on the kindle!!!! I'd like to take this book everywhere I go but its too heavy! PLEASE PUT IT ON THE KINDLE!!!!!! SO MANY CHILDREN WOULD BENEFIT!!!!

Everything you need to know in one text book. Even better than the 1st edition which I also own. Worth every penny. My favorite resource.

There are a few things about this book that should be said right away. First, this is not really an introductory book to ABA, but works as a book that ties so many theories together. That means that it could be used in conjunction with many starter ABA books, allowing its reader to get a feel of just what ABA means. The book also works on both a Masters and a PhD level when it comes to conceptual decision/ debate (an oddity if I do say so myself), and covers so many things that cheaper guides seem to omit. This could mean bypassing some causal arena or not talking about something as simple as the C.A.R.R., but these tiny slips are really not so tiny when you think about them.
There are plenty of great things listed about this book in other reviews, so I'll skip the addition of chapter content and the addition of material and its praise. Instead, I'll add that this is one of the few books that can make or break you when it comes to trying to get licensure. In fact, this book has been listed as one of the top 10 preparation guides to use before testing, and that is some high praise considering how vaunted the test actually is. More than this, however, is the fact that this is a tool that can help you in real life scenarios and, truthfully, that is more important than being able to simply pass tests. In samples as heterogeneous as those seen in autism, you really need to know how to handle multiple scenarios to make a difference.
If you are looking for a navigation tool to help with the rocky waters of autism, this is a great book to acquire. It may have a price tag attached, but it proves invaluable in the long run and that matters more than anything.
Recommended for the student in all of us.
