There are many ways to help stimulate, guide and encourage positive behaviors in children who have autism. One very effective method is using the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). An intervention plan using ABA can help individuals with autism become more receptive to their environment through reinforcement of appropriate behaviors. Reinforcement includes praise or other rewards that are given to increase or maintain proper behavior.
