About this title

Synopsis

This collection of writings is the most complete resource to date concerning one of the most controversial issues in special education: whether nonaversives alone are sufficient for challenging behavior problems. The authors provide both sides of a variety of topics, including ethics, interventions, functional assessment, basic and applied research, and treatment providers.
