The book "The Reason I Jump" is another excellent take, translated by the author of Cloud Atlas. He wrote this via independent typing (not RPM) when he was 13: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Reason-Jump-silence-autism/dp/14...

It looks as if the ABA provision was sub-standard (RPM debate aside) as modern ABA in the Verbal Behaviour mold should be adaptive and rely less on the intensive table sessions (which are still a part unfortunately). Done correctly it can provide the tools for communication, although not everyone will be able to speak with words.

One thing that is interesting is that many of the principals of ABA are used in our mobile apps today, I certainly learnt a lot when reviewing the research and formulating my son's programme and vice versa implementing the ideas and concepts to the mobile sphere..
