ABA for SLPs Interprofessional Collaboration for Autism Support Teams

Edited by Joanne E. Gerenser, Ph.D. (The Eden II Programs), & Mareile A. Koenig, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, BCBA (West Chester University)

To help ensure the best outcomes for learners with autism spectrum disorder, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and behavior analysts (BAs) need to work together to support positive behavior and effective communication. This book provides tomorrow’s SLPs with a clearer understanding of applied behavior analysis (ABA)—and bridges the gap between the two fields with a comprehensive plan for collaboration.

An important new addition to courses in speech-language pathology, this textbook clears up the myths and misconceptions surrounding ABA and builds a clear path to interprofessional practice between SLPs and BAs. Through chapters coauthored by practitioners from both disciplines, future SLPs will learn how to move past ABA stereotypes and controversies, incorporate the best ABA-based practices into their work, and break down the barriers to productive collaboration with BAs. An essential part of every preservice SLP’s education, this timely text shows how experts from two vital fields can learn from each other and work as a seamless team to support better lives for people with autism.

YOUR STUDENTS WILL: • Discover why SLPs should collaborate with behavior analysts— and get practical strategies for connecting with BAs and learning from their expertise • Master the fundamentals of ABA, including its key terminology, its core behavioral teaching components, and its data collection methods • Learn how to apply the interprofessional education and interprofessional practice model (IPE/IPP)—a framework widely used in health care and education—to collaboration with BAs • Get step-by-step guidance on using proven ABA-based interventions, including the analysis of verbal behavior, Pivotal Response Treatment, Incidental Teaching, and the Picture Exchange Communication System • Learn how to integrate ABA with speech-language pathology in critical areas, including assessment, goal-setting, and behavior intervention STUDENT-FRIENDLY FEATURES: Learning objectives, reflection questions, vignettes, and a helpful glossary make it easy for SLPs to absorb and apply new terminology and strategies.
