Summary
This review identified two Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) language assessment protocols, VB-MAPP and ABLLS-R, used in speech therapy. Neither protocol has validation studies in Brazilian Portuguese.
Area of Science:
- Speech-Language Pathology
- Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
- Language Assessment
Background:
- Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles are increasingly integrated into speech-language therapy.
- Identifying effective ABA-based language assessment protocols is crucial for clinical practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and describe language assessment protocols derived from Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) utilized in speech-language therapy.
Main Methods:
- A systematic electronic search was conducted across Medline/PubMed, Lilacs, Web of Science, and Scopus databases.
- Studies focusing on ABA-based language assessment protocols in speech therapy were included; review articles and non-assessment-focused studies were excluded.
- Descriptive analysis was employed, examining the levels of evidence for the selected studies.
Main Results:
- The search initially identified 6,859 articles, with 17 selected after title and abstract review.
- Following exclusion criteria, five articles proceeded to full-text analysis.
- Only two ABA-based language assessment protocols, VB-MAPP and ABLLS-R, were identified.
Conclusions:
- The review found two primary ABA-based language assessment protocols: VB-MAPP and ABLLS-R.
- A significant limitation is the absence of validation studies for these protocols in Brazilian Portuguese.

01:21Behavior Modification
235
Behavioral approaches have often been criticized for ignoring mental processes and focusing solely on observable behavior. However, these approaches provide an optimistic perspective for individuals seeking to change their behaviors. Rather than concentrating on intrinsic personality traits, behavioral approaches suggest that even longstanding habits can be modified by changing the reward contingencies that maintain them.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

01:26Modeling in Therapy
145
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

The field of behaviorism was pioneered by figures such as Ivan Pavlov, John B. Watson, and B.F. Skinner fundamentally shifted the focus of psychology to the observable and controllable aspects of human and animal behavior. This shift marked a critical evolution in the discipline, emphasizing scientific rigor and experimental methodology.

01:24Operant Conditioning Intervention
114
Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement. By analyzing the environmental factors that reinforce problematic behaviors, clinicians can design interventions to weaken these reinforcements and replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier alternatives.
