Synopsis

Behavioral Detectives: A Staff Training Exercise Book in Applied Behavior Analysis allows readers in on case conferences discussing behavioral issues in developmental disabilities and applied behavior analysis. Short stories are presented, always with a clinical mistake present. The job of the reader is to discover the mistake. The reader can then turn to the back to see if (s)he was correct, learning about applied behavior analysis along the way.

Review

What applied behavior analyst doesn't love a good mystery? Drs. Newman and Reinecke and team were extraordinarily clever in creating an instructional format that will immediately engage, entertain, and educate. Through a series of well-designed and, best of all, real cases, readers are offered the opportunity to investigate and solve behavioral mysteries with intelligence, humor, and compassion. I look forward to sharing this with my students! Shahla Alai-Rosales, Ph.D., BCBA University of North Texas --Book jacket

With Behavioral Detectives, Drs. Newman & Reinecke and colleagues have written an interesting, accurate and entirely accessible book focusing on the practice of ABA with learners with developmental disabilities. By presenting case scenarios and requiring one to, in effect, follow the data to determine went wrong, the authors place the reader in the middle of a case conference with knowledgeable and experienced mentors who are simultaneously creative and conservative. A very worthwhile experience. Peter F. Gerhardt, Ed.D President & Chair, Scientific Council Organization for Autism Research --Book jacket
