Behavioral observation : technology and applications in developmental disabilities

Synopsis

"In this book, practitioners, students, and researchers in the fields of developmental and behavioral disabilities will learn how to make technology work for them. The editors have gathered a high-profile group of contributors to discuss the latest computer equipment and software available - such as hand-held optical bar code readers and hand-held computers - and compiled practical, detailed strategies on how to put that equipment to work in an array of applied settings. Principles of conducting observations and analyzing the resultant data are also provided in order to enable professionals to use the new observational strategies to improve their understanding of disabilities and to help devise intervention techniques to make real improvements in the lives of individuals with disabilities outside the research setting."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
