What is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and how can it be used to help autistic children learn?
Dr. Michael Morrier, Assistant Director of the Emory Autism Center, gives an overview of this teaching technique.
Background
The Emory Autism Center is a component of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Emory University School of Medicine. The program was opened in 1991 as a public, private and University collaboration. Since opening, the Emory Autism Center has become a national model for diagnosis, family support and innovative treatment, as well as a vital source of professional training.

This is a great, simple way to explain all of the hard work we are doing with our kids in ABA. To outsiders the whole thing looks nuts! Thank you!
