Covering intermediate skills such as comprehension of abstract language, social and play skills, emotional and behavioural regulation, and academic skills, this comprehensive ABA curriculum has been developed specifically for individuals on the autism spectrum with a developmental age of approximately 4-7 years.
Evidence-based, the resource guides instructors step-by-step through using ABA to teach 150 intermediate skills. The program can be individualised to meet the needs and interests of the individual, and instructions are given on how to do this. An accompanying CD contains the teaching materials needed to implement the program, including over 1000 printable colour picture cards and worksheets, handy printable copies of the curriculum programs, data forms and checklists. The authors also provide guidance on creating an effective ABA teaching environment, as well as a wealth of practical teaching strategies for ensuring therapy success.
This is an unparalleled resource for professionals working with children with ASDs who are looking for a robust and ready-to-implement ABA curriculum. It will be a valuable tool for behaviour analysts, teachers, psychologists, occupational therapists, and students in these fields, as well as to parents working with professionals to implement an ABA program.
