This presentation will discuss the use of ABA to improve treatment outcomes for individuals. ABA is most commonly associated with the treatment of autism, but this presentation will focus on how it is able to help individuals with other diagnoses who have executive functioning deficits. Case studies will be presented specific to Borderline Personality Disorder and Substance Use Disorder. There will be a discussion of some strategies that can be applied across populations.
After gleaning information from this representative, participants will be able to:
1) Provide and inventory of how various executive function deficits impact the effectiveness of various traditional treatment interventions for behavioral health and substance use disorders; and,
2) Incorporate accommodations for these deficits in order to increase client compliance and treatment outcomes.
