Since the fi rst two editions of Preschool Education Programs (1994, 2001), more exciting advances, particularly the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), have arisen to benefi t the special education of youngsters in school. Contributing to this 12- chapter edition are 10 scholar programs (Alpine Learning Center; ASCENT; Autism Center at the University of Washington; CABAS Program; Children’s Unit at SUNY Bing- hamton; Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center; Groden Center; LEAP Program; Summit Academy Sussex Consortium; and Valley Program), answering a common set of questions concerning the treatment of very young children with Autism Spectrum Disorders, using a range of ABA technology. This book addresses educational settings including public, private, and university-based programs in America. It is an especially valu- able resource for parents, professionals, and administrators who are in the process of developing programs for the preschool student.
 
Topics discussed include:
  • Addressing problem behaviors, social skills, and play
  • Teaching speech and language through a verbal behavior framework, visual supports, sign language, and other augmentative/naturalistic methods
  • Measuring students’ outcomes
  • Conducting transition to school-age programs
  • Determining a child’s eligibility for admission and the diagnostic materials used
