Summary:

Behavioural interventions for Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are among the most widely used approaches, and have proved both extremely popular with parents, and controversial with professionals. These behavioural techniques are some of the few practical applications of psychology in this area to be scientifically evaluated.
