Selected List of Books on Behavior

Contributed by Melissa Dubie, M.Ed.

Individuals who engage in problematic behaviors present a significant challenge for those who live, support and educate them. Good behavioral programming requires an understanding of behavior, and a wealth of strategies to address change. The publications below provide this type of information.

These books can be borrowed by Indiana residents from the Center for Disability Information and Referral (CeDIR) at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community. You can contact CeDIR by calling 1-800-437-7924 (toll free in Indiana) or 1-812-855-9396 (Voice/TT). The entire catalogue of holdings is now available to view online at http://www.iucat.iu.edu/
