Answer preview
Today behavioral analysis is an important approach in psychology, as was first described by John B Watson in 1913. While many changes have occurred in the field, including a name change from behaviorism to behavioral analysis, it remains an accurate pragmatic approach in psychology. Since Oklahoma and Nevada became the first states to license behavior analysts in 2009, 31 states require licensure, indicating continuous recognition of behavioral analysis practitioners in policies, regulations, and laws. My primary career and personal goals are to be a behavioral analyst to treat individuals with intellectual and or behavioral disabilities for improving the quality of living. I am interested in exploring this field further to understand the hand and soft skills needed in supporting especially children and adults with intellectual and emotional disabilities. This annotated bibliography explains the theoretical and practical significance of behavioral analysis in different settings, emphasizing supporting children with an autism spectrum disorder. Behavioral analysis is an important field of study, an established field in psychology and wide application in theory and practice. The following sources prove its applications, especially in autism spectrum disorder.
