Abstract Details

2024, Master of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis, Youngstown State University, Department of Psychological Sciences and Counseling.
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) applies principles of learning to problems of social significance. As a therapy, ABA is a treatment of choice for autism spectrum disorders (ASD), with several decades of research demonstrating ABA's effectiveness. However, the effectiveness of ABA for another common neurodevelopmental disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is less well known. Understanding the effectiveness of ABA for ADHD would be important for practitioners, especially for those working with individuals who have a comorbid diagnosis of ASD and ADHD. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of ABA to treat symptoms of ADHD for individuals who are 6-17 years of age using a structured literature review. Using specific keywords, several public databases were searched for articles describing the use of ABA interventions to treat symptoms of ADHD. In total, fourteen articles were found that described the use of ABA to treat symptoms of ADHD. In general, 12 of 14 articles found indicated ABA was effective for treating symptoms of ADHD in children who are 6-17 years of age. Results are discussed for practitioners and consumers looking to make treatment decisions.
