Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is best known for its success
in treating individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and
other developmental disabilities (e.g., Down syndrome, intellectual
disabilities). In young children with developmental disabilities such as ASD, the goal of intensive, comprehensive intervention is to improve cognitive, language, social, and self-help skills. Decades of research have shown that intensive ABA treatment is the most successful approach for children with autism, and it is widely recognized by a number of sources including the U.S. Surgeon General, the American
Academy of Pediatrics, and the National Institute of Mental Health.
