Description

The number of practitioners working in applied behavior analysis (ABA) has rapidly increased over the last several decades. Much of this is likely attributable to the success of applying ABA to support the needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorder/autistic individuals. However, as many researchers and practitioners repeatedly demonstrate, the power and potential of ABA can be extended to nearly any area of social significance. Applied Behavior Analysis for Clinical, Educational, and Training Applications provides 12 chapters written by current experts who apply ABA to various clinical, educational, and training contexts and spanning a variety of populations. This volume covers the application of ABA to autism and other developmental disabilities, pediatric feeding, severe problem behavior, behavioral pediatrics and pediatric psychology, clinical behavior analysis, education, child maltreatment, juvenile correction services, brain injury rehabilitation, behavioral gerontology, substance use, and applied animal behavior. In each chapter, the authors describe how basic behavioral principles and processes are relevant to the discussed topic, what applied work in that area involves, and—most importantly— the skill set and training needed to work in that area successfully. This volume is particularly useful for behavior analysts who seek to apply their behavior analytic skillset within various clinical or educational contexts.- Reviews how the basic behavior processes are relevant to clinical, educational, and training contexts- Demonstrates how ABA can contribute to helping a variety of populations spanning developmental disabilities, brain injury, substance use/misuse, and gerontology- Demonstrates how ABA can successfully improve various social systems spanning pediatrics, education, child maltreatment, juvenile correction, and applied animal behavior- Each chapter includes a detailed outline of the skills, knowledge, and experiences necessary to enter each field, in addition to foundational training in behavior analysis
