Cognitive behavior therapy vs ABA type behavior therapy

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know what's the difference? My understanding is the ABA is more for ASD while cognitive behavior therapy is more for impulsive control disorder? Does anyone have any experience with cognitive behavior therapy?

Cognitive behavior therapy is an insight oriented approach, meaning the individual is insightful about their actions and may have some desire to change some of their behaviors. Our guys are not generally insight oriented and don't often benefit from this type of therapy until they have a lot of language, are able to demonstrate a desire to change behaviors, can demonstrate perspective taking and have some insight. ABA uses motivation and reinforcement to change behaviors. No insight necessary.In it's most simplistic explanations...Hope this helps...Sent from my iPhone

Cognitive behavioral therapy is designed to help the individual in their thinking patterns, to learn new ways to cope and understand their behaviors.
