Assessment and Measurement in Applied Behavior Analysis

By Kristen L. Padilla and Grant B. Morgan

Bridging the science of measurement and the practice of applied behavior analysis (ABA), this is the first comprehensive guide to reliability, validity, and evidence-centered design within a behavior-analytic framework. Students and ABA practitioners will benefit from the text's real-world case studies and clear connections to the Behavior Analyst Certification Board's BCBA Task List. Readers learn not only how to select, use, and interpret function- and skill-based behavioral assessments, but also how to critically evaluate their quality and appropriateness using contemporary measurement theory. Facilitating ethical, data-driven decision making across clinical, educational, and research settings, the text includes chapter-opening objectives, end-of-chapter reflection and discussion questions, and a glossary.
