Does ABA Treatment Intensity Matter for Young Learners with Autism?
Explore the data and earn one free BACB CEU in our webinar
Studies show that early applied behavior analysis (ABA) intervention produces optimal outcomes for many children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). But how much direct intervention is needed for the greatest benefit? Join Sigmund Eldevik, PhD, BCBA-D and Gina Green, PhD, BCBA-D, as they share dosage recommendations for early intensive ABA intervention derived from nearly 40 years of scientific research.
Participants will:
- Learn what the research shows about optimal intervention timing and intensity
- Understand specific intervention levels linked to improved child cognitive function, adaptive skills, and reduced autism severity
- Examine clear patterns linking intervention dosage with outcomes across multiple measures
- Learn about generally accepted standards of care – legal and clinical definitions and current standards of ABA health care for individuals diagnosed with ASD
- Understand the types of studies required to produce credible scientific evidence

Meet Dr. Sigmund Eldevik
Dr. Sigmund Eldevik brings over three decades of experience helping children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder thrive through evidence-based interventions. As a professor at Oslo Metropolitan University and clinical psychologist at the Center for Early Intervention in Oslo, he bridges the worlds of groundbreaking research and hands-on clinical practice.
Dr. Eldevik leads the Applied and Experimental Behavior Analysis in Clinical Practice research group at OsloMet, where he continues to advance our understanding of how early intervention can make a meaningful difference in children’s lives. His widely-cited research has helped shape best practices in supporting young children with autism and their families.
Meet Dr. Gina Green
Dr. Gina Green brings decades of pioneering work in behavior analytic interventions for individuals with autism and other developmental disorders, combining research excellence with practical clinical applications. As former Director of Research at the New England Center for Children, faculty member at multiple universities, and co-founder and CEO of the Association of Professional Behavior Analysts, she has shaped how we understand and implement evidence-based interventions, the professional practice of ABA, and behavior analytic health care services.
Her influential work – including co-editing “Behavioral Intervention for Young Children with Autism” and co-authoring “Strategies and Tactics of Behavioral Research and Practice (4th ed.)” as well as the current health insurance billing codes for ABA services – has helped establish best practices in the field. Dr. Green’s contributions have earned numerous recognitions, including an honorary Doctor of Science degree from The Queen’s University of Belfast and the Autism Law Summit Sustained Outstanding Advocacy award.
Both speakers are Board Certified Behavior Analysts-Doctoral (BCBA-D) whose work has helped shape best practices in supporting individuals with autism and their families.
Meet Dr. Gregory Elsky
BLN is directed by Dr. Gregory M. Elsky, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT; CA), Licensed Behavior Analyst (OR) and Board Certified Behavior Analyst-Doctorate (BCBA-D). Since 1995, Dr. Elsky has provided behavioral intervention for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. He has studied/trained under some of the leading experts in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) including Dr. O. Ivar Lovaas, Dr. Gary W. LaVigna, and Dr. Thomas J. Willis.
As an active member of the California ABA community, Dr. Elsky has served as a board member of the California Association for Applied Behavior Analysis (CalABA) and served as a Content Area Leader for the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s (BACB) Practice Guidelines for Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Additionally, he has graduate level training in the administration and interpretation of a wide range of standardized psychological assessments as well as Behavioral Assessments, and as an adjunct faculty member, taught graduate level coursework in ABA.
