SESSION INFO: This workshop will provide a basic introduction to applied behaviour analysis (ABA), a science devoted to effective teaching. In recent years, ABA-based interventions for autism have become the subject of some controversy. The presentation will provide an overview of the historical roots of this controversy. The status of contemporary ABA-based intervention will also be discussed, with suggestions for moving forward.
