Applied Behavior Analysis in Early Childhood Education: An Introduction to Evidence-based Interventions and Teaching Strategies

Applied Behavior Analysis in Early Childhood Education provides a basic introduction to applied behavior analysis and overviews the highly beneficial role that it can play in early childhood education for both typically developing children and those with special needs.

This updated text equips future and current early childhood professionals with the tools they need to positively impact the lives of young children, including how to implement effective techniques for changing behavior, strategies for everyday challenges both in the classroom and at home, and suggestions for how to consult and correspond with parents and caretakers.

The book is ideal for professionals preparing for―or those already in―careers in child development, behavior analysis, early childhood education, developmental therapy, counseling, and special education. A companion website provides further information and resources for students and instructors.
