Evolution of Applied Behavior Analysis in the Treatment of Individuals With Autism

Mark Wolery, Erin E. Barton, Jeffrey F. Hine

Abstract

Two issues of each volume of the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis were reviewed to identify research reports focusing on individuals with autism. The identified articles were analyzed to describe the ages of individuals with autism, the settings in which the research occurred, the nature of the behaviors targeted for intervention, and the independent variables used. The data are analyzed in terms of shifts over time. These data were used to present a description of the changes in applied behavior analysis work related to individuals with autism.
