ABA Therapy for Nonverbal Toddlers: Developing Communication Skills for Kids with Autism

Easy to understand step by step guide.Great and accurate information.

I think this is a great read for anyone interested in taking a job position as a behavioral technician in ABA. It's a good referral guide to the concepts and well thought out but simply put! Highly recommend for newbies in the field!

I really appreciated the knowledge provided in this book. Quick and concise information that bridges the gap for unaware persons to quickly understand ABA Therapy practices and teachings. It's quick help for parents who take care of children with ASD who are nonverbal.

I truly enjoyed reading about ABA therapy with toddlers. As a preschool teacher, I do a lot of these things already but it is nice to know the exact benefits of each practice. It was a very easy read and has a lot of great information to share with families as well.

This book is clearly written by someone who had no idea what ABA is. The first several pages are riddled with errors about things as basic as the credentials and even the NAME of the field. It’s Applied Behavior Analysis, not Applied Behavioral Analysis, the RBTs are Registered Behavior Technicians, it’s the Behavior Analyst Certification Boars, not the Behavior Analysis Certification Board, it’s Board Certified Behavior Analyst, not Board Certified Behavioral Analyst. These are trademarked terms which I’m sure the author does not have permission to mangle. The errors only increase exponentially from there. The description of using a high probability behavior as a method of increasing accuracy of low probability behavior is, frankly, idiotic. This was clearly written by someone who googled random ABA terms and slapped them in a word document without any concern for accuracy or basic understanding to even know if what she was writing is even remotely correct. She is unqualified to try to teach anyone anything about ABA. In her bio she claims to have finished the free training for the RBT but she is not an RBT. You would think after the 40 hour training she would at least know the actual name of the credential she’s going for. There are no formal references/works cited section as well which is a huge no no. Do not buy this money grab if a book.

Basic ABA terminology descriptions. Very small booklet. Not what I expected by the tittle and back page summery.

Very informative for the beginning BT. Very easy to understand terms and techniques. Gives insight into the process of being a BT, RBT, and BCBA.

The only thing I disliked was on page 21, the te as Ching of the sign “more”. A child should not be able to sign for more unless they can assign what they want. This is not the best sign to start with. Everything in the child’s environment should be labeled verbally or with signs.
