SummaryTable of Contents
This market-leading book helps students understand and use behavior management concepts in the classroom. The sequence of chapters follows that of an actual behavior analysis; actual data recording sheets, charts, and tables are provided. The text covers identifying target behavior, collecting data, experimental design, arranging antecedents and consequences, and generalizing behavior change. Users love the book's sense of humor and appreciate the talent the authors have for describing complicated information in a clear and appealing manner.
