Now What?

This isn't your typical professional development book. You won't find a list of learning directives or active student responding opportunities (ASRs). Instead, you'll find journal prompts, jargon crosswords, and scheduling sudoku. Going from a graduate student to an applied behavior analysis (ABA) practitioner can be like jumping into the Arctic Ocean; the shock to the system is overwhelming. The intention of this book is to help you get yourself out of the water and warm up a bit.



Now What? combines practical advice with a candid review of the author's early years as a behavior analyst (flubs included) in hopes that you don't feel alone in your missteps, misgivings, and general newness. Written in everyday language, the book is filled with skill-building exercises, activities for unwinding, reusable tools, and opportunities to reflect on your own experiences as they happen.
