Question 2

Compare and contrast the ABA and the SCERTS approach. Give examples of intervention goals that reflect the two different interventions

Accepted Answer

The ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) and the SCERTS (Social Communication, Emotional Regulation, and Transactional Support) approach are both interventions used to support individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but they have different focuses and methods.

ABA is a behaviorally-based intervention that focuses on identifying and changing specific behaviors through the use of reinforcement and shaping techniques. It aims to increase desired behaviors and decrease undesired behaviors through systematic and structured interventions. For example, an intervention goal in ABA might be to increase a child's communication skills by teaching them to use a picture exchange communication system (PECS) to request items or activities.

On the other hand, the SCERTS approach is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary intervention that focuses on supporting the social communication, emotional regulation, and transactional support needs of individuals with ASD. It emphasizes the importance of building meaningful relationships, supporting emotional regulation, and providing a supportive environment for the individual. An intervention goal in the SCERTS approach might be to help a child with ASD develop the ability to regulate their emotions in social situations, such as learning to take turns in a conversation or managing frustration during a group activity.

In summary, while both ABA and the SCERTS approach aim to support individuals with ASD, they have different focuses and methods. ABA focuses on behavior change through reinforcement and shaping techniques, while the SCERTS approach focuses on supporting social communication, emotional regulation, and transactional support needs. Intervention goals in ABA may focus on specific behavior changes, while goals in the SCERTS approach may focus on building relationships and supporting emotional regulation.
