Abstract

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and other evidence-based methods are used in behavioral analysis for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in order to comprehend and alter behaviors by recognizing their causes, effects, and precursors. Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT), Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBA), and Discrete Trial Training (DTT) are three important approaches that work together to improve adaptive behaviors, social skills, and communication. To maintain consistency across contexts, interventions use visual aids, token economies, and positive reinforcement; they also involve parents and caregivers. Cognitive, linguistic, and social outcomes are all positively impacted by early and intense behavioral treatments, according to the research. To successfully assist the specific needs and development of children with ASD, a tailored, ethical, and interdisciplinary approach is necessary.
