Book Overview

Parents of young children - ages 18 months to 5 years - recently diagnosed with autism, face the critical decision of which educational treatment program to choose for their child. To help guide them through this complex decision-making process, parents can turn to the revised and updated edition of Right from the Start. This second edition covers programs that use Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention, a highly effective treatment based on Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). New information includes the latest research on the benefits of Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention, the types of instruction used (naturalistic instruction and other teaching methods that complement ABA), home-based professionals and their credentials, school-based programs, and more. instruction (at least 40 hours a week) and can be based in the child's home, at a centre (private or university), or more recently, in public schools. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Good Information

By EKB, May 16, 2024 Verified Purchase

I liked that this book points out that ABA can be a home or center thing. Does a nice job explaining the process. I disliked that long hours ABA seemed to be promoted as the end all be all. The copy I had was published in the late 90s. I think that with more children being identified on the spectrum, we are seeing more kids with ASD, but also more kids that need less support. As kids who wouldn't have been identified in the...

Highly recommended as a supplementary resource

Now in a revised and expanded second edition, Right from the Start covers the concept of early intensive...

Great book for the layman

By Thriftbooks.com User, November 11, 2003

If you are seeking intervention for a child who has been diagnosed in the Autism Spectrum, you should do as much research as possible into all interventions. This book describes in ordinary English what an Applied Behavioral Analysis program should look like, and what the parent or guardian of a child afflicted with Autism should be looking for in an ABA program. This book was a tremendous help to my husband and me when we...

If you are new to Autism & ABA - this is a good book

By Thriftbooks.com User, January 27, 2003

BUT, if you know about ABA and have read "The Me Book" from Lovaas or "Let me hear your voice" from Maurice - this book is not for you.So let me talk to you if you are a newbie to autism. This book is GREAT because it explains in ENGLISH the basics on ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) treatment for autism. It reviews case studies on choices, how to get started, funding, and other extremely important topics for newbies.It is...

Read this book and realize you're not alone

By Thriftbooks.com User, September 10, 1999

I wish I'd had this book so much earlier. I cried as I read the parents' stories and experiences--they sound just like the talks my husband and I have and our worries, hopes, and dreams for our son. This is a wonderful book of insight and advice for getting started receiving services and assuring you that you can make progress in reaching your child! Strongly recommended.
