Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA):

• Among the available approaches to treating autism, ABA has demonstrated efficacy in promoting social and language development and in reducing behaviors that interfere with learning and cognitive functioning. The ABA approach teaches social, motor, and verbal behaviors as well as reasoning skills. ABA therapy is used to teach behaviors to individuals with autism who may not otherwise "pick up" these behaviors spontaneously through imitation. ABA teaches these skills through use of behavioral observation and positive reinforcement or prompting to teach each step of a behavior.
