2008 Autism Blog Comment Of The Year

Over the past 30 years, several thousand published research studies have documented the effectiveness of ABA across a wide range of:

• populations (children and adults with mental illness, developmental disabilities and learning disorders)
• interventionists (parents, teachers and staff)
• settings (schools, homes, institutions, group homes, hospitals and
  business offices), and
• behaviors (language; social, academic, leisure and functional life skills,
  self-injury, and stereotyped behaviors)
