With an unprecedented increase in the number of children being diagnosed with autism, we find ourselves in a time when it is especially important to understand best practices for treating children with autism spectrum disorders while helping to support parents, caregivers, and teachers working with these children.

 Effective Instruction for Children with Autism was first published by the Barber National Institute in 2007 to provide strategies on how to address the unique challenges faced by children with autism, including restricted communication, trouble interacting with others, delayed cognitive development, and irregular behavior.

The field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is constantly evolving, with newer techniques and more advances in the field every day. The goal of this revised manual is to provide the most recent and valid information on effective instruction for children with autism to parents, professionals, and students to help children with autism achieve their greatest potential.

Dr. Jennifer Musolff, Behavior Analysis at the Barber National Institute, provides her expertise on step-by-step programming when implementing a curriculum to teach children with autism language and social skills.  This guide is designed to help parents and professionals meet the child at his or her current skill level and build a foundation of skills for future growth and development.
