Abstract
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is recognised as the scientific basis of effective
interventions in many educational, social, and medical fields, including autism. In this
chapter, the basic tenets of ABA are described and briefly reviewed. Autism aetiology,
diagnosis and prevalence are sketched out and the remainder of the chapter focusses on ABAbased
interventions for children with autism. The chapter concludes with an examination of
internationally recognised training standards for behaviour analysts.
