This book was developed in the process of studying for a board certification exam. While it does not directly correspond to any certification board's task list in order, it does cover major topics from the field of applied behavior analysis. Each chapter begins with a summary of relevant information, followed by study questions. The study questions are not mock exam questions. They are intended to help build fluency through application of concepts. The questions will help you identify areas for additional studying. Each chapter ends with a reading list. This book is meant to be a study aide.

It should not be the only tool used in preparation for a board certification exam. The reading lists include books and articles from The Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis that provide additional information on the chapter topics.
