This study explores the effectiveness of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in the development of social skills in children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The central problematization questions how the emphasis of ABA on skill generalization and functional behavior analysis effectively contributes to the enhancement of these skills in children with ASD, and how these principles can be optimized to promote lasting improvement in different contexts. The general objective of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of ABA in the development of social skills in children with ASD, focusing on the generalization of skills and the functional analysis of behavior. To achieve this objective, an exploratory qualitative approach is adopted, based on a bibliographic research. The bibliographic research serves as the basis for the critical analysis of existing studies and theories on the application of ABA in the context of ASD. The emphasis on skill generalization stands out as a crucial element, aiming to ensure that children can apply what they learn in different contexts. Functional behavior analysis emerges as an essential tool for personalizing interventions, adapting them to the individual needs of each child. The exploratory approach allows for an in-depth investigation of ABA principles, evaluating their specific application in the development of social skills in children with ASD. Moreover, qualitative research enables a richer understanding of the nuances and complexities involved in the intervention process.
