Synopsis:

Hard to Find book

Synopsis: Written in an accessible and friendly style, Right from the Start explains how the teaching method known as Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI) can benefit young children with autism and related disorders. This includes all children whose diagnosis falls within the broad spectrum of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), especially those five and younger. The guide begins by discussing applied behavioural analysis (ABA), the central component of intensive behavioural intervention. Readers learn how ABA can be used to teach speech and language, social, motor, and adaptive skills through a system of repetition, reward, and goal adjustment. The descriptions of a real-life family going through the process of understanding their young child's diagnosis and choosing an intensive behavioural intervention programme bolster the confidence of other parents in making their own evaluations.
