What is Applied Behavior Analysis

The positive outcomes from Applied Behavior Anaylsis are outstanding. Experience indicates that intensive programs with ABA at their core are the most promising for teaching and maintaining skills.

Kanzi, et.al). Deepening secure based dyadic attachment, strengthening two-way affect reciprocal emotional problem solving, the emergence of ideation apart from fixed modalities of thought (symbolic thought) these are some of the underpinnings or preverbal foundations that are prerequisites for the emergence of true pragmatic based verbal communication/language. The work by Jean Ayers and many, many since on affect sensory processing challenges (vestibular, tactile, visual-spatial...)

And if you point to "school percentage" placement of these children years later, I will point you towards improvement in litigation/parent advocacy. Now shoot, what are the underlying core foundations they certainly cannot be empirical in nature? That is such a crock of s***t and you know it. You mean Bowbly and Mahler and Vygotsky and developmental psychotherapy and Stanley Greenspan (DIR) and Stuart Shanker, Sue Rumbaugh, 40 years of primate studies (I suggest you take a look at

the 47% gains of 1987 in achievement of I.Q. scores went down to 13%, and of course redone again since but never replicated original study. Moreover, it was flawed in terms of selective criteria. For example, measurements of I.Q. (i,e, good test-takers) have nothing to do with the core deficits of social-emotional engagement, symbolic play and novel thinking, spontaneous pragmatic language and not rote mechanical syntactical responses.

That is hilarious. Do you mean the only scientifically proven treatment for autism recommended by the surgeon general? You do realize, or perhaps not, how manipulated and bogus that is. Where dear sir shall we begin. Should we take a look at Lovaas seminal 1987 published scientific study that neglected (oops) to have randomized assignment to control and treatment group, and where the evaluators knew ahead of time who they would be assign to? Re-done in 2000 by Tristan Smith where

@Neilgs Underlying core foundations? What are they? Stick to science. behaviors problems are behaviors. i.e., behavioral excesses and behavioral deficits.

@dboe9002 You can be an applied behavior analysis therapist. I want to be an ABA therapist, and am getting my bachelor's in psychology from Covenant College and then a master's in ABA from Auburn University. To learn more go go bacb (dot) com. No spaces, and a . instead of the (dot), of course.  I hope this helps. :)

with other; not for for the higher reflective capacities of self-with-other reflection and and the accompanied core capacities of emotional thinking and relating and Meaningful (not automaton) communicating!

[Neilgs]

No correction, my Dear SIr. most human problems do not involve behavior, most human problems involve simple to increasingly emotionally complex reciprocal affective (social emotional) interactions. Behavior is what is interpreted on the surface NOT the underlying core foundations, which are a bit, shall we say, more complex. "Self management and safety is marvelous for operational efficiency", bete machines, Not for complex two way reciprocal emotional problem solving and integration of self

You sure does help but you need to educate the public that doesn't know any better that it is not animal training. I over heard a parent tell another that their autistic child wouldn't work with ABA because he doesn't like M&M candies.
