Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy breaks tasks down into small pieces, so that children with autism can accomplish things that other children find intuitive.
You can find local ABA programs and therapists through the ABA portal at ABA International: http://www.abainternational.org/chapters.asp
It is also possible to receive ABA training virtually through many universities: http://programs.gradschools.com/distance/special_education.html
The Behavior Analyst Certification Board was established to provide consistent credentialing for behavior analysts; search in their "Certificant Registry" to find a local behavior analyst (www.bacb.com).
