ABA-Based Interventions -
- applied behavior analysis (ABA) is often paired with the treatment of children with autism, it is not a new procedure, nor is it exclusive to the treatment of autism.
- research also shows that ABA is effective when used to teach complex communication, social, play and self-help skills.
- interventions and treatments that have been considered evidence-based and supported by research have generally been based on ABA and are described below.
Discrete Trial Training (DTT)
- is a specific type of applied behavior analysis (ABA)
- a teacher sequentially presents a discriminative stimulus (an instruction) and provides consequences for a correct or incorrect response.
- DTT is effective because it gives a child a clear message as to what is expected. It also lets the child know if the response is correct and appropriate.
Pivotal Response Teaching (PRT)
- method that uses naturalistic and motivational procedures to increase appropriate developmental behaviors in children with autism.
- PRT focuses especially on fostering communication and play behaviors.
- PRT is based on the principles of ABA.
Incidental Teaching Applied Verbal Behavior
- Applied verbal behavior (AVB) is a type of ABA.
- AVB focuses on teaching verbal behavior through a collection of highly effective teaching procedures taken from the science of behavior analysis.
