A small plug for "Behavior Analysis in Practice"

At the ABA International Annual Convention bookstore I had a chance to pick up two issues of Behavior Analysis in Practice, and as a personal recommendation, if you have not read the journal it may well be of interest--practical and readable, with research details but also more lay-friendly description on implementation and pitfalls than many research journals and articles include.

As an example, one article that I personally have immediate application for is,

Hoch, H., Taylor, B.A., & Rodriguez, A. (2009). Teaching teenagers with autism to answer cell phones and seek assistance when lost. Behavior Analysis in Practice, 2(1), 14-20.

Description of the Journal and audience from the ABA International website,

"Behavior Analysis in Practice (ISSN 1998-1929) presents empirically validated best practices in an accessible format that describes not only what works, but also the challenges of implementation in practical settings. The journal is of special interest and relevance to front-line service workers and their supervisors, scientist-practitioners, and school personnel. Types of articles and topics to be found between its pages include empirical reports describing the application and evaluation of behavior-analytic procedures and programs; discussion papers on professional and practice issues; technical articles on methods, data analysis, or instrumentation in the practice of behavior analysis; tutorials on terms, procedures, and theories relevant to best practices in behavior analysis; and critical reviews of books and products that are aimed at practitioners or consumers of behavior analysis."
