Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) techniques in enhancing naming abilities and their associated components in a cohort of children with mild autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The research was performed on 2 four-year-old children employing a quasi-experimental case study methodology. The procedures employed included interviews, structured observation, and standardized test instruments such as the Childhood Autism Diagnostic Scale (CARS) and the ABLLS-R Language and Learning Test. A four-month ABA-focused training program aimed at enhancing naming skills was conducted, using pre-, follow-up, and post-tests to evaluate improvement. The results indicated a substantial enhancement in naming abilities and all associated components, demonstrating a steady advancement from basic to more intricate responses. This validates the efficacy of ABA techniques in improving linguistic abilities in children with ASD.
