Abstract

This article addresses the relationship between applied behavior analysis (ABA) and the emergence of positive behavior support (PBS) in context of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the UK and Ireland. Two overarching issues that are salient in this discussion are professional training and certification. To date, there has been a lack of standardized training or statutory requirements to practice PBS despite proponents insisting that its practice should be grounded in behavior analytic principles. Furthermore, there is an undercurrent of anti-ABA bias fueled by misinterpretation and unsubstantiated anecdotal claims used to promote an alternative “value based” approach to managing behavior.

英国和爱尔兰自闭症谱系障碍背景下的积极行为支持和应用行为分析讨论

本文探讨了应用行为分析（ABA）与英国和爱尔兰自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）背景下出现的积极行为支持（PBS）之间的关系。专业培训和认证是本次讨论的两个突出问题。迄今为止，尽管支持者坚持认为积极行为支持的实践应以行为分析原则为基础，但仍缺乏标准化的培训或实践积极行为支持的法定要求。此外，由于误读和未经证实的轶事说法，反 ABA 的偏见暗流涌动，被用来推广另一种 "以价值为基础 "的行为管理方法。

期刊介绍： Behavior Analysis in Practice, an official journal of the Association for Behavior Analysis International, is a peer-reviewed translational publication designed to provide science-based, best-practice information relevant to service delivery in behavior analysis. The target audience includes front-line service workers and their supervisors, scientist-practitioners, and school personnel. The mission of Behavior Analysis in Practice is to promote empirically validated best practices in an accessible format that describes not only what works, but also the challenges of implementation in practical settings. Types of articles and topics published include empirical reports describing the application and evaluation of behavior-analytic procedures and programs; discussion papers on professional and practice issues; technical articles on methods, data analysis, or instrumentation in the practice of behavior analysis; tutorials on terms, procedures, and theories relevant to best practices in behavior analysis; and critical reviews of books and products that are aimed at practitioners or consumers of behavior analysis.
