  • The Self & Match Manual:
    Foreword by Saul Axelrod

    “You are about to take a pleasant journey – one that begins with scientific research, based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and ends with the practical skills that can enable you to be a more effective and fulfilled educator/practitioner. With their unique system, Self & Match, Jamie Salter and Katharine Croce provide educators/practitioners with a roadmap for managing their classrooms in an effective and compassionate manner…” -Saul Axelrod, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Temple University

    Dr. Saul Axelrod has been a key figure in the behavior analytic community for over 40 years.  We are overjoyed that Dr. Axelrod penned the foreword for The Self & Match System: Systematic Use of Self-Monitoring as a Behavioral Intervention.
