Résumé :	Several major scientific studies have demonstrated the power of applied behavior analysis as a teaching methodology for people on the autism spectrum, resulting in a rapid rate of growth for the field. There are now numerous undergraduate, graduate and in-service training programs all over the world designed to prepare personnel in this area. Many of these programs are designed to conform to the BACB's Guidelines in terms of course coverage and the required hours of field experience for graduate and under-graduate certification. Although many books exist as resources for teaching future personnel the essential concepts of behavior analysis theory and practice, the discipline lacks a set of well-structured materials to guide and support students during their initial introduction to practice in the field. Such material would ensure that first-time practitioners gain the experience of effectively applying their previously acquired conceptual material, thereby increasing their competence. As curriculum designers and trainers of ABA personnel, Beth Sulzer-Azaroff and her Associates decided to address that need by preparing, assembling, and field-testing a series of assignments and accompanying forms, organizing them into a manual entitled Applying Behavior Analysis Across the Autism Spectrum: A Field Guide for Practitioners. Opening with a brief allegorical story line planned to capture students' interest, the manual leads them through a weekly series of mastery-based activities. These are designed to permit them to apply a broad sample of skills they would be expected to perform in their more advanced training and practice on the job. Throughout, the authors provide instructional and mastery requirement guidelines for on-site and/or distance instructors and/or supervisors. Of special value for individual trainers and supervisors are suggestions and provisions for adjusting the content, timing, and sequencing of the activities. An accompanying CD also enables those wishing to retain the text material intact to have access to worksheet forms for their personal use. In field trials, the main users of these materials have been people working toward the Associate and full BACB credential and college & graduate students. It also has been tested and found to function successfully with parents (some reporting stunning results) and in-service staff trainees. An independent evaluation of the materials found that the materials were highly useful, thorough, interesting, and clear. [Résumé d'Auteur/Editeur]
