PREFACE The origin of this text arose from countless conversations with other pro- fessionalswhogenerallyreported,“Iknowaboutappliedbehavioranalysis. I’ve seen it done before.” Undoubtedly, many of those professionals had seen aversionof appliedbehavior analysis(or“ABA”asit isoften referred to)conductedwiththeirchild,student,orpatient;however,itbecameclear that others held a relatively restricted notion of ABA. Without doubt, one of the most notable utilizations of ABA has been within the context of the interventions relating to skill deficits and behaviors of excess displayed byindividualswithdevelopmentaldisabilities,specificallyautism.Although numerousproceduresandapproacheshavebeenpresentedaspotentialtreat- mentsforthebehavioralsymptomsofautism,thosebasedontheprinciples ofABAhavereceivedthemostempiricalsupport.Asaresult,inrecentyears, the term “applied behavior analysis” appears to be used quite often as a synonym for a very specific range of interventions for autism. ManyreaderswouldnotethatABAisbutasubfieldofthebroaderarea of behavior analysis that also includes: (a) behaviorism, which focuses on the world view, theory, or philosophy of behavior analysis, and (b) the experimental analysis of behavior (EAB), which focuses on identifying and analyzing the basic principles, mechanisms, and processes that explain behavior. ABAis distinct from EABin that it is considered a clinical disci- plineinwhichthegeneralprinciplesoflearningandbehaviorareappliedfor thepurposeofaddressingsociallyrelevantproblemsandissues.Thus,behav- ioranalystswhoworkinABAconductresearchthatassistsindevelopingand evaluatingevidence-basedpracticesdirectedtowardtheremedyofproblems associatedwithsociallysignificantbehavior.Appliedbehavioranalyststhen use the results of the applied research to create and implement effective evidence-basedproceduresinmorenaturalsettingssuchasschools,homes, and the community. Such work often focuses on behavioral problems that occur in particular settings, are associated with particular populations (e.g., individuals with autism or other developmental disabilities), and those that are present within larger social contexts (e.g., organizational behavior management). InlightoftheefficacyofABA-basedproceduresinaddressingbehaviors associatedwithautism,itisimportanttonotethattheprinciplesunderlying this therapeutic approach have been shown to be similarly effective when xix xx Preface appliedtootherpopulations,settings,andbehaviors.Thecurrenttextpro- videsareviewofsuchclinicalapplicationstowardthepurposeofexpanding the reader’s knowledge related to the breadth of ABA-based applications. Simply put, the goal is to illustrate the use of ABA beyond the realm of autism. ThecontentofthisbookwasidentifiedfromaninformalsurveyofABA practitionersandresearchersontheirknowledgeofcurrentareasofclinical practice. In general, an attempt was made to limit the proposed content to clinical applications which have been divided into four broad areas: child applications, adult applications, broad-based health applications, and appli- cationsintheareaoforganizationalbehaviormanagement.Undoubtedly,as thefieldcontinuestoexpanditsbreadth,therearesomeareasinwhichABA methodsareappliedtonovelareasofstudythatmayhavebeenomittedfrom inclusion.
