Overview


There are a growing number of empirically supported treatments for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These treatments have been shown to be effective in improving daily living skills, cognition, social communication skills, and reducing maladaptive behavior. In this module, participants will gain a deeper understanding of four different evidence-based interventions: applied behavior analysis (ABA), naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (NDBIs), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and psychopharmacology. Notably, ASD treatment should be tailored to the specific needs of the individual.
