This ground-breaking resource demonstrates how genetic knowledge can influence our understanding of a child's behavior and therefore inform their behavioral support plan. With expert advice and clear instructions, it shows exactly how to go about incorporating syndrome knowledge into ABA practice and start treating children with specific genetic syndromes more effectively. Eight different genetic syndromes are covered, ranging from Angelman syndrome to Williams syndrome. The book also includes general sections on genetic intellectual disability syndromes and an explanation of ABA methodology.
