Early childhood professionals—learn the nuts and bolts of  activity-based intervention (ABI), the trusted, child-directed approach for young children  birth to 5.  With the fourth edition of this classic textbook and professional guide—now expanded by 30%!—you'll discover how to  embed learning opportunities in everyday activities to help children  acquire and generalize functional skills and reach their developmental goals.  You'll get a comprehensive introduction to the benefits, challenges, and foundations of ABI, and you'll find in-depth guidance on how to apply this popular approach with children in center- and home-based programs. Case stories, examples, and sample forms throughout clarify important points and procedures.  Updated with practical new information on ABI training, implementation, and more, this book is a keystone of professional preparation for early interventionists and special educators.
