Abstract
One of the most widely known applications of behavior analysis is through early intervention services for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this chapter, we begin with a brief history of early intervention services over the past 30 years and how early behavior analysts changed the trajectory for children with ASD. Following the success of these early and intensive treatments, applied behavior analysis therapy became one of the most well-researched and supported interventions for children with ASD. This chapter provides an overview of the typical process of early intervention service provision from initial referral and intake to transition and termination of services. Differences in teaching methodologies, such as discrete trial training versus natural environment teaching, as well as factors to consider when selecting treatment strategies are also discussed. In addition, this chapter describes the best practices in clinical supervision and training for professionals in the field and alerts the reader to specific ethical codes throughout the chapter referencing the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s Professional and Ethical Compliance Code. While early intervention is one of the more established practices in the field of behavior analysis, we still have a lot to learn in order to make our treatments the most meaningful for our clients and society.
This chapter was written by behavior analysts at Western Michigan University’s Kalamazoo Autism Center in collaboration with students and faculty from the Department of Psychology.

While the behavior analyst could request this meeting, the school may find this intrusive. In our experience, this request is better coming from the parents, as it communicates the parent’s expectation that the school will collaborate with the behavior analyst. We have found that some school personnel are less likely to be receptive to the behavior analyst “pushing into” the school, perhaps due to perceived confidentiality issues, than if the parent initiates the meeting request.
