Applied Behavioral Analysis

It is often difficult to understand why the autistic
child behaves the way they do.

However, there is a reason for their behavior, and
applied behavior analysis helps us understand the
behavior and determine a method of support for the
child so that they no longer need the behavior to
meet their needs.

Using Applied Behavior Analysis, you can determine
the antecedents to behavior, identify the behavior,
and identify the consequence for the behavior, or
what is currently maintaining the behavior.

Using this process, you can determine alternative
behaviors that are more appropriate, yet will meet
your child's needs, without displaying the
inappropriate behavior.

This aids parents in understanding their child
better and helps outline a method to change their
behavior.

An excellent new manual and CD called "The ABA
Program Companion: Organizing Quality Programs for
Children with Autism and PDD" by J. Tyler Fovel is
a huge resource in this area.

It is designed to helping understand the theories
behind ABA, and help to develop a method to put
these concepts into use.

Further, it helps to develop goals to work on and
provides very practical application materials for
the user.

Using clear language, illustrations, and real-life
examples, the topics covered include basic ABA
concepts; teaching formats; the principles, merit
and clinical applications of discrete trials;
incidental teaching; teaching language and social
skills; inclusion; curriculum planning and
evaluation, among many others, featuring more than
500 goals in 54 areas, allowing users to easily
choose goals, maintain updated program lists and
track mastered skills.
