Междисциплинарный центр прикладного анализа поведения ИМПЗ

The Center for Behavior Analysis at Novosibirsk State University was established within the framework of a University project aimed at the development and application of scientifically based methods for treatment and education of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The main approach adopted by us is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which is almost universally recognized as the intervention of choice for children with ASD and is based on exhaustive evidence proving its efficacy. Our collaborators include renowned service providers, research teams, advocacy organizations and charity foundations in Russia and abroad. Objectives of the project include:
• educating high-skilled professionals in the ABA field
• providing quality ABA service to families of children with ASD
• conducting research on autism treatments
• spreading awareness of autism and evidence-based practices for treatment and education of people with ASD
The BISCUIT (Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm Traits) inventory designed for estimating the symptoms of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and pervasive developmental disorders in young children was adapted to expand the set of psychodiagnostic tools for early diagnosis of ASD. Work was continued on the identification and analysis of the basic criteria underlying the symptoms of ASD. Key parameters are described, such as peculiarities of self-regulation, specificity of internal speech and metacognitive processes, tolerance to uncertainty, formation of self-image, formation of theory of mind, as well as type of affection.
Research is going on into the impact of a specially organized environment on the development of children from ASD in resource classes
