Statistics for Applied Behavior Analysis
Practitioners and Researchers provides practical and useful content for
individuals who work directly with, or supervise those who work
directly with, individuals with ASD. This book introduces core concepts
and principles of modern statistical analysis that practitioners will
need to deliver ABA services. The organization of the book works through
the flow of behavior analytic service provision, aiming to help
practitioners read through research, evaluate intervention options,
incorporate statistics in their analysis of time-series intervention and
assessment data, and effectively communicate assessment and
intervention effects using statistics.
As
professionals who provide applied behavior analysis (ABA) services are
required to use evidence-based practices and make data-based decisions
regarding assessments and interventions, this book will help them take a
modern, scientific approach to derive knowledge and make decisions
based on statistical literacy.
