Considering the heterogeneity of people with autism, it’s no surprise that outcome research and treatment dosage needs vary widely from person to person. Experts need to think more creatively about how to provide evidence-based intervention. Individualized care based on the needs of the unique person is crucial in the field of applied behavior analysis. Guest Dr. Cynthia Anderson, child psychologist and senior vice president of applied behavior analysis at the May Institute, talks about her soon to be published research combines comprehensive behavioral interventions with a modular perspective. The treatment, which she’s calling Modular Approach for Young Autistic Children (MAYAC), is meant to be a lower dose, family-centered approach focusing on the specific needs of a child and the goals most important to their parents instead of attempting to address the vast array of all behaviors. Together, she and host Dr. Lindsey Sneed discuss dosage effect, outcomes and promoting positive care.
