Abstract

This review article starts with broad categories of ASD interventions and identifies the need to study effectiveness of ABA therapy. It establishes ABA to be gold standard based on research done in the past. Further, it defines ABA and then deep dives into the advantages and limitations of ABA therapy. Finally, it concludes by strongly vouching for ABA as the treatment of choice on the premise that advantages certainly outweigh its limitations
