Episode #10 How much ABA is enough ABA? A review of the research

In this episode the team of BCBA's, Nick, Mike, and Troy discuss what the research says about how the  intensity (hours per session and week) of ABA intervention equates with successful outcomes. This topic is one of the most research topics in the field of ABA and there is a lot to dig through. The team focusses in on several specific studies that provide valuable insight as to how much ABA is enough. 

This is yet another don't miss episode as the team also interjects their real world experiences in the school, home, and clinical setting. Each setting has its own set of context and add's a new perspective to the understanding of how ABA can and should be provided. It's clear that most research is done in the clinical setting, however the team asks and discusses the questions "shouldn't ABA be practiced in the real world?" and "What is the value of parent training to the effectiveness of ABA?"
