Summary:

Promoting alternative approaches to behavioral support, this book explains both the theory and the methodology of antecedent control. Drawing on research and clinical experience, the authors--a group of distinguished experts in the field--explain how well-designed stimulus control procedures can lead to more diverse education, therapeutic, and habilitation options than can traditional reactive methods. Addressing behavior disorders commonly associated with a range of diagnoses, syndromes, and disabilities, the assessment and treatment techniques in this book are effective for both children and adults. A must-read for researchers, clinicians, consultants, behavior specialists, special educators, and psychologists.
