Different Roads to Learning carries books and products for ABA and VB/ABA.

www.difflearn.com

Also, I came across a therapist's web site that explains VB/ABA and ABA.  If you go to the bottom of the first page, there are several links including Getting Started.  Several books are recommended.

There is a book that came out in May called The Verbal Behavior Approach.  It is a step-by-step guide for .95.  I haven't personally read it, but it looks good.  Here is information about the book:

Specifically looking for books that can teach me about ABA - I'm doing a therapists course in a few weeks and with the costs here in Aus being out of the reach of just about everybody, I am hoping i can learn some strategies to do at home.

Shelley - I think Let me hear your voice was the first book I ever read after lachlans diagnosis!

Thanks everyone,

Mysh

Does anyone have any good ABA books they can recommend?

Thanks in advance,

Mysh

Hi all,

This is my first post to this message board.  I am Mary Lynch Barbera and I am the mother of an 11-year-old son with autism.  I'm also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and have worked with hundreds of children with autism since 2003.  In May, I published my first book entitled "The Verbal Behavior Approach:  How to Teach Children with Autism and Related Disorders."  I saw that someone had recommended my book on this message board which is why I visited the site and am posting now. 

This ABA book was written from both my perspective as a parent as well as a BCBA.  It is very parent-friendly and has received numerous endorsements and reviews.  See my web site for more information and to read the endorsements:  www.vbapproach.com.

The book is particularly helpful for parents of children who are not conversational.   I get emails like the one below from parents often.  Please email me through my web site if you have any questions.  I look forward to continuing to belong to this message board.

Here is an email from the sister of my husband's friend who suspects that her 2-year-old has autism:

 

I received an e-mail from Mary Barbera, and her book arrived yesterday.  It is a Godsend.  I had to basically make myself go to sleep last night and stop reading it...... Mary’s book lets me know what I can do NOW as his parent to not waste time while I wait to get him in to doctors/psychologists/neurologists.  It’s what I was looking for, and has eliminated a lot of my anxiety.

Welcome, Mary.  I'm looking forward to reading your book soon.
