―Parents who know their children best are the best therapists.
The number of children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities is increasing every year.
However, the reality is that educational facilities for children with autism are woefully inadequate compared to the demand.
Most treatment centers are located in large cities and metropolitan areas, and the costs are substantial. For a child to experience change through ABA, consistent treatment is necessary not only at home but also in everyday life, including outdoor activities and social interactions. Parents' interest and role are crucial in this process.
However, there are many cases where parents want to teach and train their children directly but are at a loss as to how to do so.
This book, "ABA Therapy Program at Home," is a practical book that even non-expert parents can easily understand the basic theories of ABA and immediately apply them to practice.
It aims to help parents treat their children at home using the ABA method, and introduces 46 important life and learning tasks with illustrations.


―Start with the basics! Even parents can do it with confidence!
Parents need books that teach them how to do ABA in practice, rather than just theories or explanations.
Even when reading a theory-oriented book, the question “So what do you want me to do?” comes to mind.
《ABA Therapy Program at Home》 is a friendly guidebook that answers those questions.
It covers basic life habits that children need to learn at a young age, such as toilet training, hand washing, and using the toilet, as well as personal independence skills such as managing allowances, running errands, and purchasing things, and even basic communication skills, all of which are skills that children need to acquire before or after starting school.
It is suitable for a wide range of age groups, as it starts with the tasks that the child needs most and can be learned step by step.
It can be used for a long period of time, from the age of 3 until after entering school.

Generalization is when a child can perform a target behavior not only at home but also with other people and in other places. To achieve this, consistent efforts by parents are important.
Author Masahiko Inoue emphasizes, "Home therapy is like jogging, so it's important to continue doing it every day, even if it's just a little bit." Even if ABA therapy is effective, your child won't change overnight.
If you keep in sync with your child as if you were jogging together and keep a positive mindset, both the child and the parent will soon find themselves growing together.


A guideline created jointly by Korean and Japanese experts
Professor Masahiko Inoue, who has been treating and educating people with autism and developmental disabilities for decades, is Japan's leading expert in applied behavior analysis.
After experiencing the difficulties faced by parents through numerous consultations, I realized the need for a book tailored to the level of parents, and wrote this book.
I hope this book will be of practical help in easily teaching children at home, as I expressed regret that parents often fail to teach their children with autism because they “set their goals too high or teach in a way that is not suitable for the child.”
Min Jeong-yoon, who was in charge of the translation, is an expert who studied in Japan and returned to treat children and parents at the [Happy ABA Child Development Research Institute].
In a domestic situation worse than Japan, I was looking for a book that would directly help parents, and I ended up introducing this book, "ABA Therapy Program at Home," which consists of tasks that children absolutely need.
This book, which introduces ABA teaching methods in an easy-to-understand manner, was reviewed by Professor Mi-seong Park, an international behavior analysis expert who has been teaching ABA in the field for over 10 years, and was recommended by Professor I-re Hong, an international behavior analysis expert and professor at the University of Tsukuba in Japan, and Sang-min Kim, the representative of the Korean ABA Parents Association.

Meanwhile, the terms used in the book are based on actual use in domestic treatment settings, minimizing confusion when combining home and center treatment.


―Basic knowledge and practical guide
Part 1 covers the basic theories necessary to begin ABA therapy. It provides a brief introduction to the field of ABA, covering the principles and teaching methods used in ABA therapy, as well as various methods for addressing children's behavioral challenges. Part 2 presents 46 life and learning tasks, setting goals for each task so they can be implemented immediately at home, and explains the Small Steps method to encourage behavior.
We provide guidance on how to increase or decrease steps to suit the child's disability characteristics and level.
The experiences of parents who have practiced ABA directly in Japan are introduced, and through their vivid voices, you can learn about the trials and errors and tips for practicing ABA at home.

―The most frequently asked questions from ABA professionals
Q: What is ABA?
A: ABA is a branch of behavior analysis.
We are achieving great results in social skills training, self-reliance, and communication guidance for children with disabilities such as intellectual disabilities and autism.
ABA is a very effective method for children with autism to acquire and improve skills necessary for daily life, and to improve and promote maladaptive behaviors.
The TEACCH program, which is well known in Japan, also integrates support methods including ABA to promote more effective practice.

Q: Is teaching ABA difficult?
A: By learning the basic principles of ABA, you can understand the causes of your child's behavior, improve their environment, and guide them through small steps to build successful experiences that help them grow without overdoing it.

Q: Can my child change with ABA?
A: In ABA, we create an environment tailored to each child's disability characteristics and developmental level to enable them to exhibit desirable behaviors, and we teach in stages to avoid failure.
This will reduce the number of failures and increase the opportunities for praise, which will help your child build confidence.


A mother's recommendation after reading this book first

Reading this book reminds me of when my child was first diagnosed with autism and I visited an ABA center without even knowing what ABA was.
I thought I would understand if the therapist showed me how to do it at the center, but when I actually came home and tried it, it didn't work out well, so it was difficult.
This book is well explained so that parents can easily access it, and it is about everyday life_ Kim Hye-young

I knew that ABA was something that needed to be done not only by the therapist but also by the parents who spend a lot of time with the child, but when I actually started, it felt difficult and overwhelming.
This book is easier to read and contains more practical content than other books on the market, so you can immediately understand how to put it into practice.
If you incorporate ABA into your child's daily life and repeat it every day while staying at home with them, the skills will be acquired naturally.
This is good content that is helpful not only for children with autism but also for children without autism.
_ Joo Yu-jin

Parents raising children with autism are likely to have encountered a behavioral therapy technique called ABA at least once.
However, it is not easy to apply ABA at home or in institutions other than in therapy rooms led by experts, and there are limits to how parents can apply and practice it based on theory.
However, through this practice book, I was able to receive a lot of help in terms of methodologies for self-help skills and cognitive learning that can be applied to children's lives.
If you know the theory but are stuck in practice, this is a book I would definitely recommend.
