In one landmark study (Lovaas, 1987), nearly half (47%) of young children with autism treated by an intensive ABA program achieved normal intellectual and educational functioning by the end of first grade. In these programs, the goal is to increase skills in language, play and socialization, while decreasing behaviors that interfere with learning. The results can be profound. Many children with autism who have ritualistic or self-injurious behaviors reduce or eliminate these behaviors.

The complete answers could fill several books. There is a short answer, however. Behavior analysis can continue to play an important role even if none of the teaching follows the discrete trial format. (A not-so-secret secret: successful teachers of typical kids use behavioral principles all the time to run their classrooms, even if they don't consciously think they are doing it.

LA FEAT has compiled a list of components we feel are important to the success of an ABA program. Please see Components of a Quality ABA Program.

ABA programs emphasize the importance of looking at the ABC's (antecedents, behaviors, and consequences) of behaviors, teaching new behaviors, and developing systematic instructional plans to teach new skills. Skills are broken down into small units through a task analysis. ABA programs teach skills through the use of reinforcement, shaping, prompting, fading, chaining, extinction, and discrimination. Data collection and analysis is an important component of an ABA program.

There are three components that all have to work together: people, programming, and practice. And they have to work together for quite a while - at least two years, usually longer. The people are a behavior analyst, 'therapists,' you and other significant family members, and usually (although perhaps not at first) your school staff. The behavior analyst (usually just called the 'consultant') is responsible for the other components, programming and practice.

First, you have to be sure that school is an appropriate environment for your child. Just as you would not send an eight-year old to a college calculus course, so you would also not want a child with the communication and social skills of a toddler in a Kindergarten class. It is not only not an appropriate placement, it is cruel to the child; he is being set up to fail.

Within 1 to 3 weeks of ABA therapy your child should start coming to the therapy area with minimal or no prompting and becoming more compliant with the therapy. Within 2 to 4 weeks, your child should start performing some or many of the tasks at an independent level. Since the tasks are presented in a "trial" format, they receive many opportunities to practice one skill in isolation and within the context of the home or school environment.
