Reviews
Brian Boyd, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill - August 8, 2016
"The Data Model, which is built upon the scientific principles of applied behavior analysis, provides a comprehensive early childhood curriculum that allows instruction to be tailored to the unique needs of the child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There is no doubt that this tool will be of great use to any early childhood practitioner, or family member, working with young children with ASD."
Rhea Paul, Sacred Heart University - August 3, 2016
"The DATA Model for Teaching Preschooler with Autism presents a clearly presented manual for a comprehensive intervention program for young children with ASD that draws on a range of evidence-based practices and addresses the full range of critical areas that need to be targeted for intervention in this population. It will make a valuable contribution to the relatively small literature of manualized comprehensive interventions aimed at improving the lives of children with autism and their families."
Merle Crawford, Occupational Therapist, Special Educator, and Board Certified Behavior Analyst - July 31, 2016
"The DATA Model Manual and Skills Checklist provide a wealth of information beneficial for a variety of professionals who work with young children with autism, from those who have little experience to those who have been working in the field for many years. The rich information and valuable resources are well organized and will enhance the libraries of those who work with preschoolers with ASD."
