Synopsis

Applying Behavior Analysis Across the Autism Spectrum is appropriate for use in training programs designed to prepare personnel for working with children with autism, and which conform to the BACB's Guidelines in terms of course coverage and the required hours of field experience for graduate and undergraduate certification.

Such material ensures that first-time practitioners gain the experience of effectively applying their previously acquired conceptual material, thereby increasing their competence.
