Description

Japan's law titled, "Support for Persons with Developmental Disabilities Act" (Act No. 167 of 2004), included a description of an ideal system of supports for persons with developmental disabilities. The present review examines how applied behavior analysis could contribute to such supports. First, the scientific evidence on a comprehensive applied behavior analytic support method that would be in accordance with the law is summarized. Next, applied behavior analytic evidence-based practice for persons with autistic disorders, attention deficit/hyperactive disorders, and learning disorders is examined, especially focusing on the following points: (a) What were characteristics of those disabilities? (b) How did applied behavior analysis studies identify effective support methods? (c) How were integrated support programs developed and analyzed in larger scale studies? (d) How have guidelines for supports been established on the basis of these studies? and (e) What new research and practice has been developed for application to various individuals and situations? In general, support guidelines were proposed on the basis of the results of research, and new evidence-based support methods were produced, applied, and evaluated for individualized needs of persons with developmental disabilities. Research does not just provide a static database, but is also a necessary condition for enhancing the quality of supports.
