This user-friendly textbook addresses the relevance of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) within the general education setting. Oftentimes, ABA is thought of as only applicable to those with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disorders. In contrast, the application of ABA principles is appropriate for any socially significant problem, such as those that arise daily in the general education setting. This book will help educators, through individual and group interventions, decrease maladaptive behavior in their classrooms and to increase the focus on the curriculum. This book not only summarizes the basics of ABA technologies and methodologies but provides readers with: • Materials tailored to be used with any student by general education practitioners, teachers, and clinicians• Specific examples to ease the application of these technologies and curriculums• Templates to be individualized to each reader’s needs• A focus on the functionality and applicability of these programs Written in layman’s terms and broken down into categories of basic concepts and school-wide implementation, general educators will not only learn about ABA applications in education but will have clear examples of how to bridge the gap between understanding and application.

Mindy Kaling has lived many lives: the obedient child of immigrant professionals, a timid chubster afraid of her own bike, a Ben Affleck–impersonating Off-Broadway performer and playwright, and, finally, a comedy writer and actress prone to starting fights with her friends and coworkers with the sentence “Can I just say one last thing about this, and then I swear I’ll shut up about it?” Perhaps you want to know what Mindy thinks makes a great best friend (someone who will fill your prescription in the middle of the night), or what makes a great guy (one who is aware of all elderly people in any room at any time and acts accordingly), or what is the perfect amount of fame (so famous you can never get convicted of murder in a court of law), or how to maintain a trim figure (you will not find that information in these pages). If so, you’ve come to the right book, mostly! In Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, Mindy invites readers on a tour of her life and her unscientific observations on romance, friendship, and Hollywood, with several conveniently placed stopping points for you to run errands and make phone calls. Mindy Kaling really is just a Girl Next Door—not so much literally anywhere in the continental United States, but definitely if you live in India or Sri Lanka. This enhanced eBook includes an audio introduction from the author; audio commentary from Mindy’s friends, including The Office costar B. J. Novak and Parks and Recreation creator Michael Schur; bonus photos, including an exclusive “Avalanche of Awkwardness” slideshow of never-before-seen childhood photos with audio commentary; and three full chapters read by the author.
