Autism Partnership Method (APM)

At Autism Partnership (AP), we adopt our very own treatment method called, Autism Partnership Method (APM). APM is a progressive model of ABA that is highly individualized, child friendly, holistic and focused on “in-the-moment analysis” and “clinical judgement”.

APM is a high quality treatment approach for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). It is based on 60 years of research and effective clinical practice. In contrast to conventional ABA, the APM is a highly flexible, yet systematic and compassionate approach meeting the individual needs of people with ASD.

Our programs are highly clinically driven and utilize procedures that have been developed out of working with children and from our research center. We aim not solely to maximize the progress of each child under our care, but also to provide guidance and support to the family.

Autism Partnership Reveals Promising Treatment Results.

A new study conducted by Autism Partnership in 2011 has provided strong evidence on how effective Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) can help children with autism.

Key Elements to Achieve the Best Outcomes by Children with ASD

There are several studies demonstrating the effectiveness of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for people diagnosed with ASD, including a study conducted by Autism Partnership (2011). In these studies, the children with the best possible outcomes had these key elements in common:

Autism Partnership Changes Challenging behavior.

Many of our students have different levels of challenging behavior. These problems may include inattention, aggression, rigidities and self-stimulation. These behaviors do not only add stress to their domestic life, they also obstruct children’s learning. It is critical to deal with these issues to maximize learning opportunities and teach our students how to learn effectively. Decades of research in functional analysis of behavior equips us with effective tools to deal with the most challenging behavioral problems.

It is Intensive and Consistent.

Another study in 2005 looked at how children has performed in three different kinds of treatment. The research showed that doing more hours of the same treatment was more effective than doing a variety of different treatments at the same time.

Howard, et al(2005) conducted a 14-month study and looked at three treatment groups. The results showed that children in the ABA group made more gains in all areas than both the other groups added together. This was an important finding as it is often cited that only the number of hours you commit to ABA matters. However, the research has shown that the type of treatment you choose also affects the treatment outcome significantly.

Autism Partnership is a strong believer in research. We have published over 30 articles in journals. Please click here for more research about AP.
