Let Me Hear Your Voice: A
Family's Triumph Over Autism
Author: Catherine Maurice
Publisher: Fawcett Books; ISBN:
0449906647; Reprint edition
(August 1994)
This beautifully written, moving
account of a parent's quest to
obtain effective treatment for
her two children diagnosed with
autism ignited a world wide
interest in intensive ABA
treatment. Previously, the
research documenting the
effectiveness of this approach
had been little disseminated
outside of academia and a
handful of center based school
programs. Like nearly half of
all children who receive a truly
optimal intensive behavioral
intervention program (Ms.
Maurice's lead therapist was the
now famous Dr. Bridget Taylor,
one of the country's most
renowned ABA professionals), the
Maurice children so completely
remediated their impairments as
to become "indistinguishable
from their peers" or "recovered"
from their autism. This is a
wonderful book to share with
family members and friends
interested in understanding the
emotional turmoil experienced by
parents of newly diagnosed
children and the extremely hard
work that goes into implementing
an intensive behavioral
intervention program.

Teaching Language to Children
with Autism or Other
Developmental Disabilities is
based on the conceptual
framework of Skinner's (1957)
Verbal Behavior. This book has
been influenced directly by some
of the best minds in the field
of Applied Behavior Analysis,
including Dr. Jack Michael, Dr.
Ernest Vargas, and Dr. Jerry
Shook and is a MUST READ for its
coverage on teaching children
language skills.
Behavioral Intervention for
Young Children with Autism: A
Manual for Parents and
Professionals
Authors: Catherine Maurice
(ed) and Gina Green
and Stephen C. Luce
(co-ed)
Publisher: Pro-Ed ; ISBN
0-89079-683-1 (1996)
If there were only one book that
a parent of a newly diagnosed
child should read, this is it.
This book addresses most of the
questions that parents have
about the merits and mechanics
of undertaking an Intensive
Behavioral Intervention (IBI)
program. There are twenty-six
contributors to the volume. Many
of them are among the most
distinguished ABA professionals
in the country (including Gina
Greene, Stephen C. Luce, Bridget
Ann Taylor, Ivar Lovaas, Tristam
Smith, Ronald C. Huff and
Raymond G. Romanczyk - all of
whom have Ph.Ds). There also are
contributions from four parents
who share their personal
experiences with doing an IBI
program. The book is divided
into nine parts: 1)
Introduction; 2) Choosing an
Effective Treatment; 3) What to
Teach; 4) How to Teach; 5) Who
Should Teach; 6) Practical
Support: Organizing and Funding;
7)Working With A Speech Language
Pathologist; 8) Working With the
Schools; 9) From the Front
Lines: Parents' Questions,
Parents' Voices.
Right from the Start: Behavioral
Intervention for Young Children
With Autism: A Guide for Parents
and Professionals (Topics in
Autism)
Authors:
Sandra L. Harris,
Mary Jane Weiss
Publisher: Woodbine
House; ISBN: 189062702X; (August
1998)
Authors Harris and Weiss,
professors at Rutgers University
with decades of clinical
experience treating children
with autism, really get it
"right" in this important new
book: "Every young child who is
diagnosed with a pervasive
developmental disorder...should
receive early and intensive
behavioral intervention (IBI)
services. This treatment should
begin as soon as possible after
the diagnosis is made." (page
8). This concise,
straightforward book addresses
all of the "Frequently Asked
Questions" typically posed by
parents of newly
diagnosed children. Its simple
style and brevity (130 pages,
with lots of pictures and
tables) also make it a great
book for school staff. As Yale
University's Fred Volkmar
states, this is "a much needed
guide for parents of preschool
children with autism....It's a
balanced approach to a
critically important topic.
Parents and professionals will
find it an invaluable guide."
The book is divided into six
chapters: 1) "An Introduction to
Early Behavioral Intervention in
Autism;" 2) "Does Early
Intensive Behavioral
Intervention Work?;" 3) "Models
for Serving Children and
Parents;" 4) "Home-Based Versus
Center-Based Programs;" 5) "What
to Teach and How to Teach It:
Curriculum and Teaching
Programs;" 6) "How to Identify a
Quality Program.
A
Work in Progress: Behavior
Management Strategies & A
Curriculum for Intensive
Behavioral Treatment of Autism
Authors:
Ron Leaf,
John McEachin,
Jaisom D. Harsh,
Marlene Boehm
Publisher: DRL Books; ISBN:
0966526600; (May 1999)
This wonderful manual
(approximately 400 pages)
describes the fundamentals of
intensive behavioral
intervention in plain English,
with clear teaching guidelines,
concrete examples, and a fully
developed curriculum. No other
book currently available
contains such an extensive
curriculum or as much detailed
information about ABA-based
teaching techniques. Its authors
are highly experienced
clinicians who have decades of
experience treating children
with autism spectrum disorders.
The book is organized into three
parts: 1) Behavioral Strategies
for Teaching and Improving [the]
Behavior of Autistic Children
(itself consisting of 12
chapters on topics ranging from
reinforcement and toilet
training to strategies for
shaping play and social skills);
2) The Autism Partnership
Curriculum, which has about 60
skill sequences tied to five
skill domains (pre-academic,
communication/language,
academic, social, and
self-help); and 3)An Appendices
section consisting of seven
forms that can be used in
setting up and implementing a
behavioral intervention program.

L. Keith Miller
Publisher: Wadsworth Pub
Co; ISBN: 0534161464; 3rd
edition (May 31, 1996)
This
revision of Miller's successful
text has been extensively field
tested, and is ideal for the
freshman/sophomore level
Behavioral Modification or
Applied Behavior Analysis
course. Light-hearted, yet
comprehensive, this text uses
generalization programming to
teach students how to apply
behavioral concepts to complex
everyday situations. The author
introduces, defines, and
illustrates each behavior
modification concept and then
immediately engages students
with recall questions and
vignettes that show students how
to apply concepts to the real
world.
