TeachTown®: Basics is based on the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) which is considered to be the most effective treatment for children with autism (National Research Council, 2001).
In a study conducted at Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), students with autism who used TeachTown®: Basics twenty minutes a day in the classroom for 3 months were compared to a control group of students with autism in the same LAUSD intensive autism educational program. Students who used TeachTown®: Basics showed greater developmental gains (as measured by the Brigance®, a developmental assessment which was administered by each student’s teacher) than students who did not use the program over a 3-month period.
This research was published in the May 2010 edition of the peer-reviewed journal Autism.
