Week 5-Treatment approaches for psychological disorders

Jayden, a boy who is five years old, has autism spectrum disorder (ASD). His treatment provider

is trying to get him to look at more people.

I believe that behavioral therapy, specifically ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis), would be most

beneficial for Jayden. This kind of therapy uses rewards to teach a particular behavior, and it

works best when the reward is the individual's favorite. People on the autism spectrum frequently

benefit from this kind of therapy.

Trina, a woman of fifty years old, has been diagnosed with bipolar I disorder. Her therapist is

attempting to help her feel better.
