A philosophic introduction to the field of applied behavior analysis.
An introduction on how to think and talk about behavior. Radical
Behaviorism for ABA Practitioners is primarily written for students
planning careers delivering ABA services and for practicing applied
behavior analysts who work in some capacity as clinicians,
supervisors, or administrators. Throughout its 240 pages, Radical
Behaviorism for ABA Practitioners leads readers through a carefully
sequenced treatment of conceptual issues that underlie the science of
behavior and the everyday efforts of practitioners to resolve
behavioral challenges. Early chapters consider some basic assumptions
about the nature of behavior and clarify how we learn to talk about
our own behavior and everyone else's. This foundation leads to
chapters that discuss a wide range of conceptual issues in a way that
shows how they are important to practitioners in their everyday work.
Each chapter begins with a vignette that highlights the ways that
practitioners experience the misunderstandings about behavior
encouraged by vernacular dialect. Discussion then focuses on helping
readers develop a way of talking about behavior that avoids these
conceptual confusions and the problems they can cause for service
delivery. The book approaches these topics in an informal and readable
style. Pedagogical features include boxes that address special topics
that supplement the chapter narrative, and each chapter ends with a
summary of main points, a study guide, and a list of recommended
readings. The book concludes with a glossary and bibliography.
