The text specifically addresses the application of applied behavior analysis (ABA) with handicapped learners. In the preface, the authors state their intention to present ABA as a process rather than a set of cookbook procedures. They describe their text as an introduc tion to the field of ABA and not a detailed review of the literature. The text introduces a full range of terms, concepts, and issues related to effective teaching. Its range of topics is comprehensive; therefore, it provides an impressive survey of applied behavior analysis. The initial section, Fundamentals of Applied Behavior Analysis, includes two chapters which provide a theoretical perspective from which to study behaviorism by providing a brief introduction to three learning theories. Also included are disclaimers regarding the application of behavioral theory, criticisms, concerns, and ethical applications regarding ABA, and issues regarding effective and accountable teaching as they relate to the use of ABA.
