Applied Behavior Analysis
Szapacs, Cindy
Teaching Elementary Physical Education, v17 n6 p12-15 Nov 2006
Teaching strategies that work for typically developing children often do not work for those diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. However, teaching strategies that work for children with autism do work for typically developing children. In this article, the author explains how the principles and concepts of Applied Behavior Analysis can be applied successfully in many settings, including physical education. Applied Behavior Analysis is a "set of concepts and principles" used to create meaningful and functional behavior change in an individual in order for that individual to lead an independent and productive life as a member of society. The author explains that initially, it takes some extra time and effort to use such strategies, but eventually, less time and energy are necessary to help a student with autism listen, participate, and execute correct motor movements.
