Pretti-Frontczak (Educational Foundations and Special Services, Kent State University) and Bricker (early intervention, University of Oregon) offer a systematic method for assessing young children and helping them reach IEP/IFSP goals, called the activity-based intervention (ABI) approach, and discuss the approach within a linked service delivery system. They provide examples of its application in three broad service delivery models. In this third edition, there is a new chapter on empirical support, and more sample forms and vignettes that demonstrate how ABI works. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
