Recenzje

"Dr. McGinnis takes on a topic of critical potential growth for applied behavior analysts and articulates not only why ABA practitioners might want to pursue this nontraditional path, but also the practical considerations of how to get it done with research-informed guidance."

Keith D. Allen, PhD, BCBA-D, Professor of Psychology and Director of Academic Affairs, Munroe-Meyer Institute for Genetics and Rehabilitation, University of Nebraska Medical Center, USA

 

"This is THE text every behavior analyst needs to help them effectively conceptualize and treat everyday problems of childhood and become a significant part of standard pediatric practice."

Jon S. Bailey, PhD, BCBA-D, Emeritus Professor, Florida State University, USA

 

"There is limited training in medical residency on behavioral strategies for children and adolescents. This is a great guide for all pediatricians and should be required reading for all pediatric residents."

Shannon Fox-Levine, MD, FAAP, Pediatrician & President, Palm Beach Pediatric Society, USA
