PINEROS-ORTIZ, Sandra Elizabeth  e  TORO-HERRERA, Sandra Milena. General concepts concerning applied behaviour analysis (ABA) in children suffering autistic spectrum disorders (ASD). rev.fac.med. [online]. 2012, vol.60, n.1, pp.60-66. ISSN 0120-0011.

Autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) cause disability. Psychopharmacological and psychosocial interventions modulate some of the associated behavioural alterations and improve the quality of life for those affected and the people caring for them. Applied behaviour analysis (ABA) therapy is one of the most well-known psychosocial interventions and is used with populations suffering ASD. This article gives a brief description of the historical aspects, the main characteristics and theoretical foundations regarding applied behaviour analysis (ABA) by formulating key questions and their (expected) responses. The results of some pertinent studies are discussed, pointing out the methodological limitations of research into the effectiveness of this therapy and its implications for clinical practice.
