A contemporary and trauma-assumed version of applied behavior analysis for consideration when working with autistic persons or those with developmental and intellectual disabilities, especially when problem behavior is probable, will be described. The values at the forefront of this compassionate and collaborative ABA approach will be emphasized along with the sequence of steps in therapeutic processes aimed at improving relationships en route to addressing problems of behavior.
