	Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) for the Treatment of Autism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Applied behavioral analysis (i.e., Lovaas Behavior Therapy, Discrete Trial Training [DTT], Intensive Behavior Analysis [IBI]) has been proposed as a methodology for use with children with autism, or autism syndrome, for the purpose of changing behavior.
		Applied behavioral analysis for the treatment of autism is considered investigational.
		No evidence was found to show that evaluation of the status of the applied behavioral analysis for the treatment of autism can predict clinical events and, thus, be used to alter the treatment of individuals.

	Behavior Modification: Applied Behavior Analysis and Other Therapies
		Like other forms of autism treatments, behavioral therapy is not a cure for autism, but rather a form of social training that makes it easier for autistic children to cope with the world around them.
		Applied behavior analysis concentrates on teaching autistic children academic skills, social skills, and "adaptive living" skills.
		Applied behavior analysis research on pivotal response and its impact on autistic children is ongoing.

	Seven Dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis
		Applied interventions are designed from the outset to operate in new environments and continue after the formal treatments have ended.
		In behavioral application, the behavior, stimuli, and/or organism under study are chosen because of their importance to man and society, rather than their importance to theory.
		The analysis of a behavior, as the term is used here, requires a believable demonstration of the events that can be responsible for the occurrence or non-occurrence of that behavior.

	Autism
		ABA addresses changing behavior by applying interventions based on investigating and manipulating what happens before a child’s behavior (antecedent) and after a child’s behavior (consequence) in order to change the child’s behavior.
		The investigation of the reasons behind a child’s behavior is termed a functional behavioral assessment, and the results of this assessment is typically shared with the child’s family, teachers, and other professionals working with the child.
		Treatment within the ABA approach includes motivating the child through reinforcement, which is something the child finds motivating (such as toys, snacks, praise, etc.) in order to increase a good behavior, and negative punishment, which means something pleasing to the child is removed, causing the aversive behavior to decrease.

	The Autism Home Page
		It is a comprehensive approach to basic life lessons that is based in behaviorism ('applied behavioral analysis'), but which has value for many areas of a child's life and general learning potential.
		Applied behavioral analysis, or ABA, has undoubtedly had the greatest impact and influence within the field of autism, but arguably as well, within all of the fields, disciplines and methodologies for work with challenged children.
		Central to applied behavioral analysis is the practice of positive reinforcement.

	ABA4autism.com - Introduction to Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Procedures for Kids with Autism or Other Disorders
		Many parents and caregivers think ABA programs are too simplistic to work on their child's complicated neuropsychological disorder, but don't be mislead, ABA procedures work, although they do require a lot of effort and patience and a lot of money if you visit an ABA psychologist in his office--$75--150 per hour.
		ABA procedures require baseline measures of the behavioral problem (either a count or a time measure of the behavioral problem during the assessments), before we introduce a behavioral intervention.
		The ABA programs in the eBooks on this web site are designed as guidelines for parents and caregivers of children with behavioral problems and developmental delays associated with neuropsychological disorders, such as autism, and are not a substitute for direct consultation by a psychologist.

	Autism Speaks, What To Do About It, Treatments for Autism
		Behavior analysis is a natural science of behavior that was originally described by B.F. Skinner in the 1930's.
		Some ABA techniques involve instruction that is directed by adults in highly structured fashion, while others make use of the learner¹s natural interests and follow his or her initiations.
		Regardless of the age of the learner with autism, the goal of ABA intervention is to enable him or her to function as independently and successfully as possible in a variety of environments.

	Teaching Children with Autism: Applied Behavior Analysis
		ABA can be the basis of programs addressing a broad spectrum of human behavior, from increasing the productivity of the workplace, to precisely training military personnel, to, indeed, teaching children.
		It may seem a semantic argument, but one should remember that ABA is a set of principles and guidelines upon which educational programs (or any number of applications) are based and shouldn't be used synonymously with a specific program.
		A change in behavior should be seen in a wide variety of environments, or should spread to a wide variety of related or similar behaviors.

		Behavior analysis is the systematic study of variables that influence the behavior of an organism (Sulzer-Azaroff & Mayer, 1991).
		Another misconception is that ABA is a specific method of teaching children with autism, and that it is synonymous with “Lovaas Therapy” or “discrete trial training” - this is not the case.
		Although ABA-based teaching methodologies have been shown to be highly effective in teaching children with autism, ABA is not a procedure restricted to the treatment of autism but rather a discipline that is based in operant psychology and rooted in the use of scientific principles to study behavior.

	Autism and Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA)
		Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) and a handful of drugs are the most effective ways to manage behavior problems in children with autism and other neuropsychological disorders.
		Defining the behavioral problem in behavioral terms simply means that we are going to find a way to count the frequency or time the occurrence of the behavioral problem whenever we observe it.
		Some other examples of behavioral excesses are: excessive crying; hyperactivity; stereotypical repetitive movements or ritualistic behaviors, such as rocking; self-injurious behaviors, such as head banging; tics, phobias, lying, and stealing.

	Applied Behavior Analysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		ABA therapy is especially useful in teaching behaviors to children with autism who do not otherwise "pick up" on these behaviors on their own as other children would.
		An increasing amount of research in the field of ABA is concerned with autism; and it is a common misconception that Behavior Analysts work almost exclusively with individuals with autism and that ABA is synonymous with Discrete Trials teaching.
		Behavioral analysts agree that consistency in and out of the school classroom is key in order for autistic children to maintain proper standing in school and continue to develop to their greatest potential.

		ABA is the use of behavior technology and the demonstration of the effectiveness of a behavioral technique by taking data, or analysis of the function of a behavior so that the variables can be changed in order to change the need for that behavior.
		CABAS is : A behavioral model of schooling that draws on a) the other behavioral models of schooling, b) the tactics and strategies from the applied and experimental branches of behavior analysis, c) the epistemology of behavioral selectionism, d) research on the model and its components and, e) demonstration applications to several schools.
		The analysis would require addressing more socially valid goals with innovative procedures, and it would entail less of an experimental analysis and more of the empirical problem-solving process that characterized applied behavior analysis in its early years.
