Research has shown that some children with autism who are enrolled in a curriculum of applied behavioral analysis at a young enough age can be mainstreamed right into the public school system. This ABC News program profiles two children with autism who receive this intensive and, to some, controversial form of therapy. Although the degree of improvement attributable to applied behavioral analysis varies from child to child, any gains, large or small, are of immense value to the children—and to those who love them.
