This is a curriculum written by gifted clinicians and behavioral interventionists. It is organized in developmental levels to make it more easily usable for therapists, teachers and families. This is an important and significant effort that links the science of ABA with pragmatic methods in a graduated curriculum to help children with autism with strategies that work. -- Roberta E.
