From About.com: Intro to Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA)

from Jo Rudy http://autism.about.com/bio/-Jo-Rudy-18318.htm  www.About.com

Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA is one of the oldest and probably the

best-researched non-medical autism treatment available. But many people

feel it's too intense, too rigid, or too expensive for their child. Is

ABA right for your child and your family? Read on to find out more.

Behavioral Analysis (ABA) and Autism   http://autism.about.com/od/alllaboutaba/a/abaoverview.htm

Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) is one of the oldest and most widely

used treatments for autism. What is it? How does it work? Is ABA the

right therapy for your child with autism?

Can ABA Cure Autism?   http://autism.about.com/od/alllaboutaba/f/ABAcure.htm

Personal memoirs suggest that intensive ABA (Applied Behavioral

Analysis) can " recover " autistic children, but scientists say there is,

at present, no cure for autism. Which is true? Researchers at the

Lovaas Institute, developers of the ABA approach for autistic children,

answer this question.

How Much ABA is Enough?   http://autism.about.com/od/alllaboutaba/a/abaoverview.htm

According to the literature, autistic children should receive 40 hours

a week of ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis). Is so much therapy really

necessary?

Can a Child Be Too " High Functioning " for ABA? http://autism.about.com/od/alllaboutaba/f/toohiforaba.htm

Applied Behavioral Analysis is often recommended for children who are

more profoundly disabled, and/or non-verbal. Parents of

higher-functioning autistic children are told that their child is " too

functional " for ABA. In fact, say the professionals at the Lovaas

Institute, ABA is helpful for autistic people at all levels.
