Clinical and Organizational Applications of Applied Behavior Analysis, Second Edition offers a comprehensive revision that delves into data-based decision-making to guide treatment selections for behavior changes across various populations and contexts. This edition's chapters thoroughly address vital aspects such as data collection, single-case research design methodology, objective decision-making, and visual data inspection. The book's updated content ensures that practitioners are well-equipped to implement effective and evidence-based procedures in diverse settings, from schools and homes to community environments. In addition to these foundational topics, the revised edition introduces new chapters that explore integrated healthcare, adjudication of children's academic interventions, and applied animal behavior.
The book highlights the applied behavior analysts' role in utilizing research to develop and execute effective procedures, especially for addressing behaviors linked with autism and other developmental disorders. The principles of this therapeutic approach have shown increasing effectiveness when applied to a broader range of populations, settings, and behaviors.

He completed his pre-doctoral internship and post-doctoral fellowship in the Department of Pediatrics at SUNY Upstate Medical University. Previously, Dr. Sullivan held an adjunct faculty position in the Communication Sciences and Disorders Department at Syracuse University and served as a clinical instructor in the Department of Pediatrics at SUNY Upstate Medical University. Dr. Sullivan primarily conducts bi-directional translational research. That is, he is interested in translating findings from basic-operant research into effective interventions for challenging behavior, as well as examining clinical problems under basic paradigms to better understand the mechanisms responsible for behavior change. Dr. Sullivan's studies have been published in a number of reputable peer-reviewed journals including the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis and the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior. Additionally, he has co-authored several chapters on the assessment and treatment of challenging behavior. Dr. Sullivan serves on the board of editors for Behavioral Development and Behavior Analysis: Research and Practice, and has served as an ad-hoc reviewer for the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, Journal of Behavioral Education, Journal of School Psychology, School Psychology Review, Behavioral Development, Disability and Health Journal, and Journal of Pediatrics.
