A revolutionary text, ""Triumphs in Early Autism Treatment"" offers a wealth of insight and hope to both parents and clinicians.

A must-read for parents and clinicians, this book is the first to document 'best outcome' case studies using exclusively ABA treatment.This book offers first-hand accounts of the intellectual and behavioral progress of seven autistic children, written in a narrative style by the ABA professionals who conducted the consultations.
