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.
