Applied behavioral analysis (ABA), an established intervention for children with autism spectrum disorders, involves a combination of strategies such as positive reinforcement, video modeling, and peer-mediated interventions. This guide shows K-12 general education teachers in inclusive classrooms how to use ABA with autistic students, and provides 40 example teaching plans for helping children develop academic, behavioral, social interaction, communication, and independent functioning skills such as making transitions from class to class, responding positively to peers, and using speech and augmented communication. The book contains many blank forms for assessment, goal setting, and data collection. Leach teaches special education at Winthrop University.
