FREE Lexical Development Norms for English
This is not a text, but it is so useful and fits in with the Luckevich text.
This gives the age normed vocabulary for many common words understood and used by
typical infants and toddlers so you can see if you are targeting words that are not
developmentally appropriate, and conversely missing those that are.
Thanks to Wayne Fisher, Ph.D., University of Nebraska for pointing this out.

Inducing and Expanding New Verbal Capabilities in Children with Language Delays
$Verbal Behavior Analysis:
R. Douglas Greer, Denise E. Ross
Note: This might NOT be the first book to choose for a parent/lay-person friendly introduction to Verbal Behavior; some parents have found it difficult to read, esp. if not familiar with ABA or VB. However, it is a useful intermediate between the introductory texts and professional journal articles and includes interesting information on instructional strategies and some things not covered in some other texts: autoclitics, what independent self-talk indicates and how to teach, etc. Dr. Greer
has behavior analysis, learning process and curricular design down cold. So it might not be the first book to read, but it certainly is worth looking into if you are interested in the next step.

This comprehensive guide provides intervention options for a wide variety of sleep problems, including bedtime disturbances, night waking, sleep terrors, and nightmares. It also addresses sleep hygiene, bedwetting, and other sleep-related issues. It uses a modular format, starting with a thorough assessment of the child's sleep problems and the family's ability to intervene. Each intervention module outlines how to instruct families in selecting an intervention and carrying it out successfully. A companion workbook for parents includes detailed steps for intervention, as well as recording forms for sleep and behavior.
