Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present preliminary results of an Applied Learning Analysis (ALA) treatment model for children with Autism and related disorders. This analysis covers the first five years of program development at Learning Ladders Centre. All children who received services from the centre for six months or more were included in this study. Children in this study ranged in ages from 2.5 to 11 years. A retrospective design was used to study the children’s development, specific to improving their symptoms of Autism as well as their cognitive, social, emotional, academic and behavioural development. We developed a structured data template for reviewing all files. Included in this template was information on the children’s diagnosis as well as treatment effects. Reliability was assessed on 25% of the data. This paper will present preliminary empirical data indicating growth in all domains assessed. In conclusion, this study has demonstrated that the development of an ALA based program founded on empirically supported treatment research is an effective model for treating children with Autism and related disorders.
