glossary is an empowering resource."

"First-rate reading for those interested in best
practice."

"Drs. Newman and Reinecke and team were
extraordinarily clever in creating an instructional
format that will immediately engage, entertain, and
educate. Through a series of well-designed and,
best of all, real cases, readers are offered the
opportunity to investigate and solve behavioral
mysteries with intelligence, humor, and
compassion."

North Texas


"By presenting case scenarios and requiring one to,
in effect, follow the data to determine went wrong,
the authors place the reader in the middle of a
case conference with knowledgeable and
experienced mentors who are simultaneously
creative and conservative.  A very worthwhile
experience."

"An excellent book from the prolific Bobby Newman. This
is Bobby's third book on the application of behavior
analysis to helping children with autism. All three books,
are excellent reads--warm, humanistic, humorous,
informal, and anecdotal (case-studyish), easy, fun, but
not condescending, written for parents, trainers, tutors,
and teachers of autistic children. Not only are these
books easy reads, but they are also valuable reads;
each book makes serious points, and the books are not
redundant with each other, nor are they redundant with
any other autism books. I recommend them to my
undergrad and grad students working with autistic
children.  Once I started reading this book, I could not
put it down until I'd finished it--rare for me."

--Richard Malott, PhD, BCBA, Western Michigan University
"I love this book.  It gives us an intelligent new
perspective on both behaviorism and humanism.  Newman
succeeds in making his point that an alliance is possible
and desirable among the philosophies of humanism,
Skinner's behaviorism, and applied behavior analysis . . . .
Perhaps most importantly, Newman shows the humanity
of applied behavior analysts . . . . He corrects many
misconceptions of the applied science of behavior and
Skinner's behaviorism."

Move with a Purpose: Addressing Common Behavior
Issues on the Autism Spectrum Before they Grow out of
Control by Bobby Newman, Dana R. Reinecke and a
number of family members and Board Certified Behavior
Analysts offers the reader a look at some of the ways in
which problem behaviors can effectively be addressed,
especially when one intervenes early in the child s life.
The book presents a broad array of difficult to manage
behaviors, and describes creative interventions for
addressing these problems. Newman and Reinecke
remind the reader that without a functional analysis of a
problem behavior, it is very risky to take a procedure
that was effective with one person and use it with
another. That caution is very wise, as the wrong
intervention may serve to strengthen an inappropriate
behavior. However, the take away message from the
book is that there are a great many behavioral
interventions that can be of benefit to children and
parents alike and that the parent-professional
collaboration can yield powerful results for the whole
family.
