Abstract

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is widely recognized as the most effective, evidence-based treatment for autism. ABA therapy provides many different services to teach children with autism some basic skills such as looking, listening, requesting and imitating, as well as complex skills such as reading, conversing and understanding another person’s perspective. ABA also helps reduce behaviors that make it difficult for children to learn. Some children with autism receive ABA therapy at clinics, schools, and in homes directly, while others received it remotely. This manuscript reviews some articles that used telehealth to provide services to children with autism. This manuscript is focusing on, what kind of services used by most articles? Who are the most involved in the programs? What kind of interventions they used in most of the research?
