Ава-терапія як один з корекційних методів для роботи з дітьми з аутизмом

Abstract

The article describes Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) as the main scientific study of children’s behavior who has problems with mental disorders. The application of the principles of learning and motivation from Behavior Analysis, and the procedures and technology derived from those principles, to the solution of problems of social significance is analyzed in the research. It is determined that Applied behavior analysis is the process of systematically applying interventions based upon the principles of learning theory to improve socially significant behaviors to a meaningful degree, and to demonstrate that the interventions employed are responsible for the improvement in behavior. ABA uses methods of analysis that yield convincing, reproducible, and conceptually sensible demonstrations of how to accomplish specific behavior changes. Moreover, these behaviors are evaluated within relevant settings such as schools, homes and the community.
