Abstract
- Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is defined by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) as “the science of behavior, with a history extending back to the early 20th century. Its main philosophy is behaviorism that is based on the premise of attempting to improve the human condition through changing of the behavior (e.g., education, behavioral health treatment) that would be most effective with the behavior as the primary focus of treatment” (BACB, 2022). ABA is commonly offered in clinics, schools, and homes. Previous systematic reviews and metaanalyses have been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of ABA in homes and clinics. However, no/few systematic reviews exist to evaluate the effectiveness of ABA provided in schools. It is important to analyze the effects of school-based ABA to ensure the effectiveness of implementation are the same as what it would be if it were in a clinic. Therefore, the purpose of the current investigation is to systematically review studies describing the use of ABA in school settings to evaluate their effectiveness and other characteristics. Results focused on differences in the effectiveness and clients receiving treatment between settings. The discussion focused on ways to improve implementation of ABA in school districts.
