This text is a complete description of applied behavior analysis and how it can be used by pre-service or in-service educators with students displaying a range of excessive and deficit behaviors. It is written for professionals in both general and special education. In addition to traditional topics covered in other applied behavior analysis textbooks, this text devotes substantial attention to preventing problems through antecedent control, social skill development and emotional learning.
