ABA Therapy with Sarah

This is a good example of Applied Behavioral Analysis in action using an approach called Verbal Behavior. The therapist is a Board Certified Behavioral Analyst. Elliott is three years old.

[update]
Elliott was diagnosed with Autism when he was 18 months old. He was just over 3 when the video was made. Now a year later, his verbal ability is vastly improved. He can ask for anything he needs, has much longer sentences and says things like "Oh look at all the grass! It's beautiful!" He can count to 30, knows his ABCs and can even spell some words. He plays with his brother and parents, takes turns, laughs, hugs and says hello and thank you. There's still a lot of work ahead for him to be able to function in a classroom setting with typical kids but because of ABA he is definitely on track.
