Description: FBA to Z: Functional Behavior and Intervention Plans for Individuals With Asd: Not Just Another Book on Traditional Fba Approaches! Paperback – August 1, 2016 by Ph.d. Aspy, Ruth (Author), Ph.D. Grossman, Barry G. (Author), Ph.D. Myles, Brenda Smith (Author), Shawn A. Henry (Author) In this book, authors Ruth Aspy, Barry G. Grossman, Brenda Smith Myles, and Shawn A. Henry present readers with a comprehensive guide to the development of comprehensive behavioral intervention plans that recognize and address an individual’s needs and strengths during every phase of treatment. The authors cover the traditional behavior assessment process, a functional behavior assessment for ASD, taking underlying characteristics and forming a behavior intervention plan, several individual case studies, and many other related subjects over the course of the book’s five chapters. Editorial Reviews Review If using a traditional FBA approach to understand the behavior of an individual with ASD has ever left you frustrated, this teacher/practitioner-friendly book will change your world! The authors emphasize the necessity of identifying and understanding the underlying characteristics unique to every individual with ASD. From beginning to end, this must-read describes the importance of viewing behavior from the perspective of ASD, ultimately resulting in the development of comprehensive, meaningful, and effective interventions. --Dana Rusher, MA, educator, Ziggurat practitioner, and PhD student at UNC Charlotte As a speech-language pathologist working in the field of autism spectrum disorder as a school consultant, I am often asked to address challenging behaviors and help school teams navigate the relationship between those behaviors and difficulties with social communication that are characteristic of ASD. FBA TO Z provides essential and practical insight into the underlying characteristics of ASD that inform an understanding of each unique learner. The reader is encouraged to understand not only a behavior and its function, but to delve more deeply into the specific skills that a learner needs in order to participate meaningfully and with purpose. FBA TO Z promotes profound respect for both the individual learner and the complexity of autism spectrum disorder. I recommend this wonderful resource to those working with individuals with ASD and striving to promote improved quality of life. --Marci Laurel, MA, CCC-SLP, University of New Mexico Center for Development and Disability Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities Programs These expanded insights to understanding and approaching problem behavior will transform your teaching! You will understand your students better and know how to increase skills and decrease behavior problems by recognizing an individual's underlying characteristics. Strategies taught in this book lead directly to writing and implementing an effective behavior intervention plan. This book is an essential tool for educators as well as parents! --Tami Childs, PhD, MN State ASD Specialist About the Author Ruth Aspy, PhD, is a licensed psychologist in private practice with the Ziggurat Group.
