behavioral defecits
behaviors that are problematic because they do not occur enough
conceptually systematic
procedures are linked to the basic principles of behavior
evidence based procedure
use of procedures that have been studied with strong experimental designs and results that have been replicated ,peer-reviewed and publised
technological
procedures are clearly and precisely described
severity levels of ASD (3)

through behaviors
Reserach success with individuals of all ages
60+ years
research
success treating children with ASD
45+ years
Umbrella of ABA (7)
o Verbal Behavioral training o Discrete trial training o Functional assessment o Pivotal response training o Modeling o Chaining o Shaping
ABA related to autism (2)
o Incorporate behavior analytic principles in applied settings
o Focuses on positive reinforcement for appropriate target behaviors
Early Intervention
We treat the behavior, not the diagnosis
Effectiveness of Early Intervention (3)
o 25=40 hrs per week for 3 years
o Over 80% success rate if can get early intervention
o Need to teach skills to help acquire developmental markers; have focus on echoics and mands
early diagnosis can cut
lifelong care cost by 2/3
avg lifetime cost for person with autism
is over $4 million
o Children with autism and severe destructive behavior cost
$8 million over a lifetime
avg cost of early intensive ABA is
$150,000 over about 3 years
avg lifetime saving from ABA treatment
is between $1.6 and $2.7 million

understanding the seven characteristics of ABA is important because these characteristics:
inform our procedures/practces in ABA
select all areas where clinical behavior analysis might be used (5)
- mainstream second grade
- clinic for individuals recovering from brain injuries
- center where adults w/disabilities work
- autism treatment center
- homes where adults w/ disabilities live
effective
results in sig, differential change
