He was a pioneer in applying the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to benefit individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

I am also very shocked and saddened to hear of his death. I trained in ABA Tutoring in the UK using his methods. I have valued always all that I have learned through him and give thanks for his enormous contributions to helping parents to cope with autism and improving their lives with so much hope for the future.
Thank you
Mary Collins
