(Leaf, et al. 2022) article, which describes some recent critical perspectives and misconceptions on the use of ABA to treat individuals with autism and other disabilities: Then, use the knowledge that you have gained from this course to make two arguments.
- In your first argument, explain the usefulness, benefits, and social validity of ABA as an approach to treatment and behavioral development. Be sure to consider the importance of an evidence-based and data-driven approach and the right to effective treatment as described in (Van Houten et al., 1988).
- In your second argument, respond to some of the concerns addressed in this article.
- What are some possible unwanted effects that may be associated with practice of ABA, particularly in its earliest historical use? What are some ways the authors suggest these concerns can be addressed?
- Finally, after considering both arguments, present a supported conclusion on the appropriateness of applied behavior analysis as a socially valid treatment approach to improve quality of life, based on your analysis of the article and related issues. Be sure that you are using your readings and integrating citations to support both arguments.
- Explain how the philosophy and practice of ABA has evolved with each development and include a specific example for each.
- Briefly recap each of Baer et al.s (1968) seven dimensions of ABA.
- Choose one recent development that is of most interest to you and be specific about how the development meets the requirement for each of the seven dimensions. Discuss if there are any ways in which the development does not support the dimensions.
- Consider the current state of multiculturalism and diversity in practice. Provide a thoughtfully supported prediction of how growth in these areas helps to build relationships to effectively support the goals and practices of applied behavior analysis.
- Analyze ways in which the goals and philosophical assumptions of ABA, as a related set of underpinnings, will allow for continued development and expansion without sacrificing the scientific foundations of ABA.
- In your supported opinion (i.e., using your readings for support), what are some important areas in which ABA should not change?
