The Parent's Guide to In-Home ABA Programs is a unique and very
helpful new book that is long over-due. Reading this book will give
parents a much better idea of what to expect as they embark upon
ABA home programming. Besides introducing us to basic ABA
principles and practices, Elle Olivia Johnson answers many
questions parents frequently ask. She also raises and answers
several important questions that we might never think to ask in
advance about situations that could easily arise once the program
gets under way. Elle shares her years of valuable experience as a
knowledgeable ABA practitioner with us. Employing examples from
daily life that most of us can relate to easily, she clearly
explains difficult topics. Reading this book is like having a
conversation with an expert and getting great advice from a good
friend who has already been through an ABA home program.

Early on, as a mother of an autistic child and new to ABA programs,
I had many questions and had to look for pieces of information here
and there to solve the puzzle. I wish this book had been available
to me sooner as it has all the answers I needed within one cover. I
use it as my main reference now.
