Behavioral Approaches
Behavioral approaches to autism are based on the theory that all behavior is learned and that it is governed by
antecedents and consequences. The foundations of this are that learning can be reduced to the repetition of
responses, which increase with reward. In this way a task to be learned can be analyzed into small steps that are
then used as a teaching program for the child. Each step can be shaped through positive reinforcement.
The most commonly used behavior approach is ABA. More behavior based interventions can be read about in the
links below.
