• Sommario/riassunto: 'This book is an important one. Parents will be delighted with its easy and practical approach. It fills a void that currently exists for families ; trying to figure out how to do a VB approach. Furthermore, it explains a great deal about how ABA approaches behavior and teaching. The sections on rapport building, the importance of motivation, errorless teaching, and reinforcement are well-written, accurate, and perfectly suited to the needs of parents and professionals new to this approach. Her words of advice to families are spoken from the heart and are very wise.'. - Mary Jane Weiss, Journal
