Abstract

Objective: to investigate the literature produced on the therapeutic aspects and instruments used in the Analysis of Behavior Applied to people in the Spectrum of Autism. Method: It is an Integrative Review of Literature, carried out in a virtual environment, in Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences databases - LILACS, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System On-Line - MEDLINE and SciELO - Scientific Electronic Library Online, in the period from 2008 to 2018. Ten studies were identified that met the object of study. Results: ABA is perfectly applicable to people in the Autism Spectrum, being a science that presents strong constructs a body of knowledge that is comprehensible and comprehensible by parents /caregivers and teachers, provided they are duly accompanied by qualified professionals. Moreover, the use of diverse instruments such as scales and even games can be very useful for acquiring the essential skills to life in society and the installation of appropriate behaviors. Conclusion: ABA has been shown to be a fundamental scientific process to identify the functional relations between the observable behavior and the environmental context, and it is possible to affirm that the projection of interventions based on this science can promote an improvement in social welfare and personal, cognitive gains, language and learning.
