The methodology of the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) It is the only scientifically proven effective treatment for children with ASD and PDD. It focuses on applying basic behavioral principles to children's significant behaviors. Behavior itself as the objective of change.
ABA It is the treatment in the branch of psychology that has provided Greater number of quality scientific studies, published in journals with methodological review criteria, demonstrating the effectiveness of various behavioral procedures and techniques in the reduction of inappropriate behaviors, as well as in the increase in the repertoire of appropriate behaviors and new skills, specifically in children with autism.
The methodology that accompanies us in the method seeks to identify the functional relationships between behavior and the environment. The application of ABA programming defines the Method in a complete, precise and systematic way. The procedures are linked and described in terms of basic principles of effective behavior and we seek to make changes in behavior significant for children and their families.
In general, an attempt is made to adopt a methodology that contains procedures that can be applied to many individuals in different locations (Baer, Wolf and Risley, 1957). A treatment that contemplates and intervenes in all areas of development of the child affected either by defect or excess. A treatment is designed using basic learning principles. In this way, we achieve that the VICON Method have positive results in any child with difficulties of learning, communication and socialization even at verbal children, because its methodology is based on the principles of learning that any other person without a disability learns.
The intervention program is aimed at functional development of all critical areas in a child's development. In the designed programming, The skills to be taught are broken down into small learning particles ideal for the format of video thus ensuring that objectives are met across a wide variety of diagnostic profiles.
These procedures and intervention techniques have been and continue to be developed internationally through the research by thousands of ABA professionals. We use the Positive Reinforcement integrated into the program itself, in our teaching through the music and the great motivation that most children have for a video format. In this way, we can maintain an atmosphere of success in which the child's learning is much more likely.
