Applied Behavior Analysis, Autism, and Occupational Therapy / Christie D. WELCH in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 70/4 (juillet-août 2016)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 70/4 (juillet-août 2016) Titre : Applied Behavior Analysis, Autism, and Occupational Therapy : A Search for Understanding Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Christie D. WELCH ; Helene J. Polatajko Année de publication : 2016 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ergothérapie  Autisme  Psychothérapie comportementale  Objectif Résumé : Occupational therapists strive to be mindful, competent practitioners and continuously look for ways to improve practice. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) has strong evidence of effectiveness in helping people with autism achieve goals, yet it does not seem to be implemented in occupational therapy practice. To better understand whether ABA could be an evidence-based option to expand occupational therapy practice, the authors conducted an iterative, multiphase investigation of relevant literature. Findings suggest that occupational therapists apply developmental and sensory approaches to autism treatment. The occupational therapy literature does not reflect any use of ABA despite its strong evidence base. Occupational therapists may currently avoid using ABA principles because of a perception that ABA is not client centered. ABA principles and occupational therapy are compatible, and the two could work synergistically.
