ABA is the most common evidenced based treatment for symptoms of ASD, but it can also be utilized to treat other diagnoses. It is also a proven effective treatment methodology for ADHD.

In fact, research indicates that a combination of medication and ABA therapy produces best outcomes for children with ADHD. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that adding behavioral therapy to stimulant medications can help children with ADHD and their families to more effectively manage and tackle day-to-day challenges. Moreover, behavioral therapy is unique among non-drug treatments in that it has been actually shown to work in improving skills and reducing impulsivity in children with ADHD. The proof is in the pudding: according to the chairman of the Washington area chapter of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Dr. Tomas Kobylski, children who pair medication with behavioral therapy are able to take lower doses of medication.
