Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a behavioral treatment system based on over 50 years of scientific research. These scientific research studies have time and again provided empirical evidence of the efficacy of ABA as a behavioral treatment methodology for the treatment of a wide range of behavioral and developmental disorders. Positive results from ABA research include improvement in the areas of speech, social skill, self-help skill, play and marked decrease in the manifestation of Autism typical disorderly behaviors including tantrum, self-injury and self-stimulation.

Other research findings have also found ABA to be effective in helping autistic children integrate into regular classrooms after receiving ABA based preschool programs (Harris and Handleman).
