If ever there were anywhere that someone who was suffering from a
mental illness or behavioral disability should expect to be
welcomed, it would be at our religious institutions. Sadly,
however, that is often not the case. In The Inherent Worth and
Dignity of ALL Individuals: Encouraging Full Participation in Our
Unitarian Universalist Congregations, Bobby Newman attempts to
create a framework for helping religious institutions to consider
the needs of people with mental illness and behavioral
disabilities, along with the needs of the rest of the congregation.
A framework is described for helping to strike a balance that will
protect the rights of all concerned, and help religious
institutions come closer to living up to their stated principles. A
KINDLE version is now available.
What it is: This is a book of warm, readable, personal, informally
written case studies, with a point, actually several points. Case
studies are always fun to read, these are no exception. Parents of
children labeled "autistic" and paraprofessionals and professionals
working with the children should find this book interesting,
informative, and encouraging, although realistic. The book is full
of examples of behavior analysis used to help the children. The
book is full of enough technical details to give parents and
workers some ideas about how to solve problems, yet those details
are presented in a way parents and paraprofessionals can understand
them, even with humor. Who's responsible for the book: the editors
are Bobby Newman, Dana Reinecke, and Leo Newman. This is the second
book of this sort that Bobby has produced, the first one based on
his own case studies, this one based on the case studies of a large
number of people, and yet these case studies keep Bobby's
easy-reading informal, humorous style. Richard W. Malott, Ph.D.

Behavioral Detectives: A Staff Training Exercise Book in Applied
Behavior Analysis allows readers in on case conferences discussing
behavioral issues in developmental disabilities and applied
behavior analysis. Short stories are presented, always with a
clinical mistake present. The job of the reader is to discover the
mistake. The reader can then turn to the back to see if (s)he was
correct, learning about applied behavior analysis along the way.
Parents and professionals undertaking Applied Behavior Analytic
(ABA) teaching and behavior management programs for individuals
diagnosed with autistic-spectrum disorders often face serious
questions. Behaviorask is a collection of answers to over 100 of
the most common ABA programming questions, discussed in rich
detail. The authors are Board Certified Behavior Analysts with many
years of experience providing ABA-based programs in schools, homes,
and private clinics.
