Applying Behavior Analysis Across the Autism Spectrum : A Field Guide for Practitioners / Beth SULZER-AZAROFF

Public ISBD Titre : Applying Behavior Analysis Across the Autism Spectrum : A Field Guide for Practitioners Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Beth SULZER-AZAROFF, Auteur Editeur : Cornwall-on-Hudson NY [Etats-Unis] : Sloan Publishing Année de publication : 2008 Collection : The Cambridge Center - Sloan Century Series in behavior Analysis Importance : 233 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 21,2cm x 28cm x 1,2cm Accompagnement : CD-Rom ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-59738-009-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : APP-A APP-A - ABA - FBA - Approches Comportementales 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.

Choosing Objectives for a Distance Learning Behavioral Intervention in Autism Curriculum / Beth SULZER-AZAROFF in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 23-1 (March 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 23-1 (March 2008) . - p.29-36 Titre : Choosing Objectives for a Distance Learning Behavioral Intervention in Autism Curriculum Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Beth SULZER-AZAROFF, Auteur ; Richard FLEMING, Auteur ; Megan TUPA, Auteur ; Robert BASS, Auteur ; Charles HAMAD, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.29-36 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The national need for individuals trained in applied behavior analysis (ABA) helped persuade the U.S. Department of Education to fund the development of a four-course, undergraduate-level curriculum on the topic. In this article, the authors report the results and application of a four-phase Delphi survey procedure designed to identify the most critical topics to cover in the curriculum. Thirty-four specialists in behavioral intervention participated and identified 74 items, 36 of which eventually emerged as strongly recommended, 27 as recommended and 11 as not recommended. This information was used to select topics and practices to cover in the courses. Other ABA scholars, researchers, and practitioners may find this information useful in designing instructional programs for adults.

The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS): What Do the Data Say? / Beth SULZER-AZAROFF in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 24-2 (June 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 24-2 (June 2009) . - p.89-103 Titre : The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS): What Do the Data Say? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Beth SULZER-AZAROFF, Auteur ; Anne O. HOFFMAN, Auteur ; Catherine B. HORTON, Auteur ; Andy BONDY, Auteur ; Lori FROST, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.89-103 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Picture-Exchange-Communication-System PECS research-trends-and-issues Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Originally designed to enable young children with autism lacking functional communication to initiate requests and to describe what they observed, the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) has been the subject of an ever-expanding body of research and development. Thirty-four peer-reviewed published reports on PECS are analyzed in this article with documentation of research questions, methodology, and results. Findings suggest that PECS is providing people around the globe who have no or impaired speech with a functional means of communication. Refinements in methodology and additional questions that might be addressed in future research are discussed.
