Awesome! Mar 13, 2009
Extremely easy to read and useful for understanding exactly how ABA can be used to augment other intervention strategies for students/children with Autism.

When Everybody Cares Sep 12, 2008
This is an excellent book. I have only read 3 chapters, but Newman presents information about children with autism very well. This book is hillarious, and I would reccomend reading it.

Thank Heavens for Bobby Newman's "little book" Jun 19, 2005
Plain and simple, I love this book. Thank Heavens that Bobby Newman took it upon himself to write so movingly not just of his love for the field of Applied Behavior Analysis/ABA, but for the real people that he and the science serve. I don't think it is too strong to state that everyone who works with people with autism should read this book.
Unfortunately, too often ABA is perceived as a dry endeavor and the children as a set of clients served by it. This series of engaging vignettes puts a very human face on both and movingly illustrates ABA's very real power to change lives. I found myself more than once cheering, smiling, and crying tears of joy for the happy outcomes described.
Thank you for writing this book and letting us know the wonderful things that can happen "When Everybody Cares...".

I love this book! Mar 12, 2003
For anyone whose life is touched by autism: this is a wonderful book, especially if you are new to the world of Applied Behavior Analysis. The stories are about real people-- children and adults whose quality of life was improved through behavioral intervention. And while each chapter is used to clearly illustrate a principle of the science of human behavior or a particular type of procedure for changing behavior, what you will remember most are the stories-- touching, inspirational, and often very funny. I loan this book out more than any other ; )

If Autism is in your life, read this book! Jan 16, 2003
"When Everybody Cares" should be read by anyone involved in teaching and treating children with Autism who are utilizing Applied Behavior Analysis, or even to help educate and advocate what ABA can do for the Autistic population. As a mother of a child with Autism, everything can be extremely challenging . Eating, self help skills, sleeping, speaking, social interactions, self stimulatory behaviors, perseveration, inappropriate behaviors, playing, learning--these are all skills and behaviors that will require at one time or another some sort of treatment plan. Treatment plans to increase or decrease a behavior can be very intimidating. Are you doing anything at all, is all this effort really working? are we wasting our time? Is he REALLY capable? When Everybody Cares puts that anxiety to rest by leading the reader through many real life examples of successfull intervention ultimately bettering the lives for all involved and most importantly the health, happiness, and dignity of the individuals who suffer from Autism. "When Everybody Cares" has inspired me tremendously!
