Amazing
Very informative! I was unsure as to what the method of ABA was before this and was able to identify and modify certain behaviors I was doing myself that was actually hindering my sons progress! I started implementing this procedure half way through the book and in 2 days I already saw an improvement in his communication and progress with potty training & other behaviors!
