Abstract

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an effective structured approach to therapy and intervention for individuals with ASD, including evidence-based practices and a fairly objective assessment of results. This approach continues to evolve, various methods and strategies are being improved, taking into account new data obtained in modern research, therefore, the analysis and generalization of trends in ABA therapy methods and techniques for children with ASD is relevant. The purpose of the narrative literature review is to analyze data from 2022 on effective ABA therapy methods in working with people with ASD and forecast the prospects for the development of ABA. The practical significance of this work is to highlight promising areas of research on ABA methods, taking into account their effectiveness for children with ASD. The scientific significance is represented by the assumption of possible ways to further develop ABA therapy, taking into account current trends. The literature review was conducted by searching and analyzing scientific publications from 2022 listed in the eLibrary and PubMed databases, which include practical ABA research in working with people with ASD. As a result of the analysis of scientific publications, such promising areas in intervention methods when working with children with ASD in ABA therapy have been identified as: the use of socially auxiliary robots, the development of mobile applications based on machine learning, the modification of training in separate blocks for children with ASD, the inclusion of therapeutic dogs in ABA, strategies for combining non-social and social stimuli as a reinforcement. A large amount of research in the field of robotics and neural network development may indicate further integration of these technologies into ABA practice. The practical significance of our research may be the selection by specialists of the most effective ABA methods for children with ASD in the process of therapeutic work and education
