NASET’s Autism Spectrum Disorder

 

Unlocking Effective Interventions: The Role of Applied Behavior Analysis in Autism Spectrum Disorder

 

By Patricia Mae Paredes


This issue of NASET’s Autism Spectrum Disorder Series was written by Patricia Mae Paredes. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in social cognition and behavioral functioning. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a highly effective approach to supporting students with ASD in the classroom. ABA-based strategies are designed to increase skills and decrease challenging behaviors, ultimately leading to meaningful changes in socially significant behaviors. This article highlights the role of ABA in ASD and provides examples of effective ABA strategies, including pairing, prompting, data collection and monitoring, and reinforcement. The article also explores the contributions of B.F. Skinner and Albert Bandura to the development of ABA. The article concludes that ABA strategies should be implemented collaboratively with parents and school staff to monitor the progress of students with ASD and promote their independence and success in the educational environment. By utilizing these ABA-based strategies, educators can effectively support students with ASD, manage challenging behaviors, and optimize their quality of life.
