“…The original synonym rings were refined to focus on skill increases within behaviour analytic intervention, and additional keywords were added to the age search filter. The Pearl Harvesting method was designed for searching research databases for the purposes of systematic reviews and has been used by several systematic reviews focusing on ID (Townsend-White et al 2012; Hollingshead and Shurr 2017) and behaviour analytic interventions (Liao et al 2020).

Background According to several comprehensive systematic and narrative reviews, interventions based on applied behaviour analysis principles, or behaviour analytic interventions, are considered evidence based for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, no comprehensive review of the literature related to behaviour analytic interventions for children with intellectual disability (ID) currently exists. Methods Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines (registration ID: CRD42018099317), the purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the relevant published literature on the use of behaviour analytic interventions to develop skills in young children (0-8 years) with ID (and without ASD). A preliminary search of the literature identified 1209 potential studies published between January 2000 and April 2020. The review process resulted in 48 articles consisting of 49 studies (i.e. one paper contained two studies) that met the inclusion criteria. Most used single-case research designs. Studies were evaluated on five dimensions of methodological quality based on the Scientific Merit Rating Scale developed by the National Autism Center (NAC). The NAC definitions were also used for the quantity and quality of research evidence required for interventions to be considered established or emerging. Results There were a number of limitations to the quality of the body of research. Nevertheless, various behaviour analytic interventions met criteria for being established interventions when used for targeting communication, adaptive and pre-academic skills in young children with ID. Behaviour analytic interventions targeting academic skills met criteria for emerging interventions. Conclusions Although the current literature is limited, results indicate that behaviour analytic interventions may be effectively used to support skill development in children with ID.

“…One of the interventions that can be applied at home is the ABA approach. Giving ABA at home with parental involvement is an effective intervention for children with autism barriers [14]. In addition, the ABA program is effective enough to be very effective, bringing significant benefits to several abilities, expressive language skills, intellectual abilities, communication skills, socialization, adaptive behavior, and daily life skills [15].…”

Children with autism need optimal and consistent intervention at school and home. Parents need an application as a guide for implementing interventions at home. This study aims to develop a home-based intervention application design so that it is easy to use by parents and match with the intervention needs of children with autism. This research method is design thinking. Several steps of the design thinking method are empathy, define, ideate, prototype, and test. The test through usability testing using the Maze platform, 93% results were obtained. Then in data analysis using a usability test questionnaire, the learnability aspect was obtained 90% and the memorability aspect was obtained 80%. The whole test shows good and successful results, so the prototype can be continued on the implementation of the application.

“…Chinese researchers began studying ABA by reviewing developed countries' laboratory results and practices (Wang & Kang, 2011). Empirical studies into ABA increased in around 2005 (Liao, Dillenburger, He, Xu, & Cai, 2020). However, few studies explored parents and professionals' experiences of autism and different intervention approaches across cultures with the exception of Ballantyne, Gillespie-Smith, and Wilson (2019) who conducted a survey to compare the public primary and secondary schoolteachers' knowledge and experience of working with individuals with autism in the United Kingdom (n=51) and China (n=59).…”

This study explored the experiences of professionals and parents from the United Kingdom and China of autism-relevant policies, school involvement, and applied behavior analysis-based interventions. Semistructured interviews involving 36 parents and professionals and direct behavioral observations were carried out of five parents and three professionals. Results found: (1) a lack of autism support and applied behavior analysis-related services in both countries; (2) applied behavior analysis-based intervention was not as widely endorsed by healthcare or educational systems in the United Kingdom; Chinese parents faced challenges around inclusive education and accessing high-quality services and there was a social stigma attached to autism; (3) a limited awareness and application of early intensive behavior intervention in both regions; and (4) intervention fidelity with regards to the practice of one particular applied behavior analysis-based intervention, discrete trial teaching, was similar and increased with ongoing training. Professional and parental experiences were discussed in the context of policy and educational involvement. This study illustrates the need to support children with autism and to consider regional adaptations of evidence-based practice of behavior analysis for the affected population. Lay abstract The prevalence of autism is increasing, and the development of these children and the lived experience of their families have become a global concern. Applied behavioral analytic intervention is proved to be effective in improving their cognitive abilities, language skills, and social and emotional skills, but the service delivery between developed and developing countries is different. A qualitative study was conducted to explore personal experiences with actual practice fidelity of behavior analytic services for children with autism in a Western developed country (United Kingdom) and an Eastern developing country (China). The study found: (1) a lack of support for autism and behavioral analytic services in both countries; (2) applied behavioral analytic intervention was not as widely endorsed by healthcare or educational systems in the United Kingdom; Chinese parents faced challenges around inclusive education and accessing high-quality services and there was a social stigma attached to autism; (3) a limited awareness and application of early intensive behavior intervention in both regions; and (4) intervention fidelity with regards to the practice of one particular aspect of behavioral analytic interventions was similar and increased with ongoing training. This study emphasizes the need to support children with autism, and to consider regional adaptations of evidence-based practice of behavior analytic interventions for the affected population.
