Free Downloads Applied Behavior Analysis For Teachers (9th Edition)
The market-leading book Applied Behavior Analysis for Teachers gives you what you need to understand to use the principles and practices of applied behavior analysis in the classroom. The content is presented clearly, in a friendly, accessible–even fun–manner. The ninth edition uses classroom-based examples and practices firmly grounded in research. Content is presented in the order of decision-making by a teacher who has a student exhibiting challenging behavior in class or a student who needs to execute a behavior-change project. The text covers identifying target behavior, collecting and graphing data, functional assessment, experimental design, arranging antecedents and consequences, and generalizing behavior change. The importance of ethical considerations in using applied behavior analysis in the classroom is now presented at the beginning of the book to highlight the importance of applying principles and practices responsibly.

The 7th Edition is precisely what I find wrong with textbook publishing today. If you're a graduate student (or any student for that matter), you have probably noticed that new editions for textbooks are being released increasingly more frequently, rendering texts far less valuable for resale than they would ordinarily be. I went to the book store and found ABA for Teachers with both the 6th and 7th editions on the shelf. I was cynical about how much the book would have changed in roughly a year's time from one edition to the next, and sure enough, they are practically identical.It is almost humorous to note that the forewards of the two editions were not even modified. The paragraph on 'Updates' to the editions is the same, noting substantial changes to one chapter and the decision to retain a particular example about a mouse. I referred to the chapter in question, and it was the same in both books. By all appearances, the changes to the 7th edition (to my eyes) are all cosmetic and do not involve content. The 7th edition is almost one hundred pages shorter than the the previous edition, due it appears to the format being changed to more of a workbook-type, taller text. Also, the headings and sidenotes now have colored fonts in many instances. If having a taller, thinner text and colored fonts is worth the extra money to you, go ahead and shell out the extra money. Otherwise, don't let the book publishers get the last laugh and stick with the 6th edition which is in substance the same book.
I am a BCBA. I ordered this book it plan a 20 hour ABA training for school staff with wide range of education and experience. It helped me plan the entire training and not get bogged down with technical terms.
I am using this textbook for my Graduate ABA course. This text is easy to understand (which is helpful because ABA is a bit heavy on the science aspect of things.) Also the readings are enjoyable, great resource.
I received my shipment very fast. The book is full of very helpful and applicable information. The material relates to teachers as well as those in th ABA field. I would highly suggest it for those just starting out, and those wanting a refresher.
I'm a Behavior Analyst, I had this text for a class in graduate school and it was ruined in a flood. I work with children on the Autism Spectrum and use the book as a resource for Autistic Support teachers, but it's actually valuable to any teacher. It provides detailed information about basic and some slightly advanced ABA principles and how to implement. It covers everything from teacher to student interaction, peer to peer interaction, and self regulating technique. It makes clear that learning IS behavior.
I am currently taking a Graduate Level Advanced Behavior Analysis (ABA) class at a local university. This book was a requirement for my class and this class is required for graduation. This class was my first Special Education course and this book is definitely not for someone who doesn't understand reward/punishment with regards to behavior. The book is comprehensive but should not be used for someone looking to "gain a little insight" into ABA. This book encompasses all of ABA. If you are ABA certified, this book will help you "refresh" on the information you've already learned.
I have this book for one of my classes. It is thin and not a heavy book which I like. The only think I don't like about this book is how the words are not defined on the side margins like most books I have ever had. It would be easy to find definitions and would be nice to have the definition in clear terms, instead of just through the text.
I found this to be an OK book. Nothing to spectacular, however there are some interesting sections which were helpful. Iâm sure it will get revamped in newer editions however this book is worth its money. I wouldnât have purchased this book unless it was for a class.
