Prática baseada em evidência (PBE) é um termo que tem sido muito empregado
no contexto clínico e educacional da intervenção para pessoas com Transtorno do
Espectro Autista (TEA). PBE se refere à integração (a) de intervenções eficazes com
evidência de pesquisas, (b) da experiência clínica do profissional e (c) dos valores dos
usuários de serviços no processo de tomada de decisões dos aspectos da intervenção
(Sackett et al., 2000).
A PBE é considerada por muitas áreas da saúde como uma responsabilidade ética
do profissional. A sua utilização visa garantir que os procedimentos implementados
durante a intervenção sejam realizados com base na melhor evidência científica
disponível. Desta forma, os benefícios clínicos para o paciente são maximizados e os
prejuízos minimizados (Whitehouse et al., 2020).
Três pilares são necessários para uma prática baseada em evidências, sendo eles:
(a) a implementação de intervenções com evidência científica; (b) a implementação
dessas intervenções por profissionais com conhecimento e experiência clínica específica;
e (c) a consideração das preferências e valores do cliente em relação aos diferentes
aspectos da intervenção (Slocum et al., 2014).

PBE na Intervenção do TEA

Ambos os estudos experimentais e quase experimentais são empíricos. Um estudo experimental de grupo
aplica sua variável de interesse (um tratamento, por exemplo) e observa o efeito sobre os indivíduos que
devem ser distribuídos aleatoriamente entre grupo que recebe a intervenção e o grupo que não recebe
(controle). Já em um quase experimento não há a distribuição aleatória dos indivíduos entre os grupos
(Sousa et al., 2007).
2
No delineamento de grupo o efeito de uma ou mais variáveis (por exemplo, procedimentos e intervenção)
é analisado pela comparação entre grupos de participantes que foram expostos a diferentes condições. Já
no delineamento de sujeito único um mesmo participante é exposto a diferentes condições e o objeto de
estudo é analisado repetidamente para a avaliação dos efeitos de uma ou mais variáveis em um mesmo
indivíduo (Sampaio et al., 2008).

O National Clearinghouse on Autism Evidence and Practice Review Team
(NCAEP) foi formado por especialistas em TEA e práticas baseadas em evidências. O
NCAEP teve por objetivo dar continuidade ao trabalho do NPDC realizando revisões
atualizadas da literatura em TEA. Essas revisões abrangem intervenções baseadas em
evidências que são comportamentais, educacionais, clínicas e na área do desenvolvimento
(NCAEP, 2021).

A Tabela 1 apresenta sumariamente uma compilação dos resultados de
intervenções baseadas em evidências para o TEA de acordo com o NCAEP (Steinbrenner
et al., 2020) e o NAC (2015). Intervenções baseadas em evidências são nomeadas de
formas diferentes em ambos os relatórios.

É possível observar que algumas não foram classificadas como PBE pelo NAC
em 2015, mas sim em 2021 pelo NCAEP.
Além disso, a escolha por uma ou outra intervenção não deve se pautar apenas
em quais práticas são baseadas em evidências, mas também no problema que está sendo
alvo, idade, situação familiar (como interesses e objetivos da família), variáveis culturais,
etc., sendo papel dos profissionais envolvidos a escolha cautelosa pela intervenção (NAC,
2015).

De acordo com o NAC (2015), a maior parte das intervenções identificadas como
estabelecidas para o TEA são procedimentos baseados nos princípios da análise do
comportamento e comumente utilizados nas intervenções baseadas em ABA. Vale
ressaltar que o relatório produzido pelo Autism CRC na Austrália apresenta dados
semelhantes e muitas dessas mesmas práticas foram também consideradas efetivas, a
citar: Treino de Tentativas Discretas, Intervenção Comportamental Precoce Intensiva,
Treino de Comunicação Funcional, Intervenção Naturalística e Treino de Habilidades
Sociais (Whitehouse et al., 2020).

qualidade de vida do cliente e seus familiares (Smith, 2013). Esses objetivos devem ser
definidos em conjunto com o próprio cliente quando possível, e com a família e
cuidadores de acordo com as prioridades, preferências e características culturais das
mesmas. Leva-se em consideração também as habilidades que o cliente já possuiu e outras
que possam servir como pré-requisito para comportamentos mais complexos. Tudo isso
é feito tendo em perspectiva os objetivos que melhor podem promover a independência e
bem-estar do cliente e sua família. Enquanto abordagem de intervenção, a ABA possui
procedimentos para objetivos de comunicação e linguagem, de habilidades sociais,
repertório acadêmico e vocacional, manejo de comportamentos desafiadores em
múltiplos contextos, entre outros.

governo federal disponibilizasse milhões de dólares em fundos para pesquisas em TEA
(Smith, 2012). Esses acontecimentos foram palco para o crescimento das pesquisas em
ABA para o TEA e para a criação de organizações preocupadas em disseminar
informação, pesquisa e serviços.

Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Scielo e Google Acadêmico) identificou 20 estudos
realizados no Brasil e publicados em revistas brasileiras de 2007 até 2021. Importante
mencionar que essa busca não considerou a produção de teses e dissertações, apenas
estudos publicados em revistas nas quais há a avaliação por pares. Estudos envolvendo o
uso de tecnologias em intervenções, o ensino e uso do comportamento verbal, a
intervenção comportamental intensiva, o treinamento de pais e o ensino de habilidades
matemáticas apareceram nas pesquisas rastreadas e algumas serão sumarizadas abaixo.

onde os autores desenvolveram um passo-a-passo com técnicas comportamentais para o
ensino efetivo do uso de máscaras. Neste estudo, pessoas com TEA foram ensinadas, com
a participação da família, a vestir e tolerar o uso de máscaras.
Página 11 de 17
Outro aspecto importante a ser considerado é que, embora as pesquisas publicadas
em periódicos nacionais sejam inferiores à de outros países, existem centros e laboratórios
de pesquisas e de aplicações voltados para a ABA, principalmente em universidades.
Como exemplo desses centros podemos citar o Lahmiei (Laboratório de Aprendizagem
Humana, Multimídia Interativa e Ensino Informatizado) da Universidade Federal de São
Carlos, o Latec (Laboratório de Análises e Tecnologias Comportamentais) da
Universidade de Londrina, o Lebac (Laboratório de Estudos Básicos e Aplicados em
Análise do Comportamento) do Instituto de Psicologia da Universidade de São Paulo, o
Cais (Centro para o Autismo e Inclusão Social) do Instituto de Psicologia da Universidade
de São Paulo, o NAC (Núcleo de Análise do Comportamento) da Universidade Federal
de Santa Catarina e da Universidade Federal do Paraná, dentre outros.

2017) e Reino Unido (Lambert-Lee et al., 2015). Além disso, o manual australiano
elaborado pela Autism CRC menciona que as pesquisas avaliadas em seu relatório foram
realizadas por quase todo o globo, incluindo América do Norte, Europa, Austrália, Ásia
e América do Sul (Whitehouse et al., 2020).

___________________________________________________
O estudo de Irving Lovaas (1987) foi um divisor de águas na área, que trouxe uma das
primeiras evidências científicas da terapia ABA para o autismo. O autor realizou um estudo
longitudinal, mostrando que a terapia ABA, via a intervenção precoce, produziu a sensível
melhora nos repertórios de crianças com TEA, inserindo-as novamente na escola regular e
tornando seus coeficientes de inteligência dentro da normalidade. As crianças, que no mesmo
período, não tiveram acesso à terapia ABA, não mostraram melhoras.
ABA é hoje considerada uma ciência que contém um tratamento prioritário e essencial
a pessoas com TEA, seja pelas grandes melhorias que traz à qualidade de vida dessas pessoas,
seja pela solidez da base científica que traz consigo.

In Support of Health Insurance Coverage of
Applied Behavior Analysis for Au:sm Spectrum Disorder
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Council of Autism Service Providers (CASP), I write in support of applied behavior
analysis (ABA) for the treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and required health insurance
coverage of ABA for families impacted by ASD in Brazil.
Applied behavior analysis is “a well-developed scientific discipline … that focuses on the analysis,
design, implementation, and evaluation of social and other environmental modifications to
produce meaningful changes in human behavior. ABA includes the use of direct observation,
measurement, and functional analysis of the relations between environment and behavior. ABA
uses changes in environmental events, including antecedent stimuli and consequences, to
produce practical and significant changes in behavior.”1 In short, ABA determines the cause(s) of
behaviors and implements proven methods of behavioral science to increase developmentally
appropriate skills and decrease maladaptive behaviors. ABA is provided by Board Certified
Behavior Analysts2 or psychologists with specialized training and experience in ABA.
Decades of research have documented the efficacy of ABA in treating the core features of ASD,
i.e., persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction, and restrictive patterns of
behavior, interests, or activities.3 As such, ABA is the standard and essential treatment for autism.
The attached list of references includes key studies supporting the use of comprehensive and
focused ABA for the treatment of ASD and other developmental disabilities delivered both in-
person and via telehealth.4 This evidence has been considered by state legislatures and insurance
regulatory bodies; state and federal courts; and federal agencies that determine covered services
for federal employees and beneficiaries of the Early and Periodic, Screening, Diagnostic and
Treatment (EPSDT) services benefit of Medicaid. All have determined that ABA is effective for the
treatment of ASD.

ncbddd/autism/hcp-dsm.html
4 https://abacodes.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Model-Coverage-Policy-for-ABA-01.25.2022.pdf
Consequently, ABA for the treatment of ASD is a required benefit in fully insured health benefit
plans in all 50 states, the EPSDT benefit of Medicaid (covering over 40 million eligible children),
and all Federal Employee Health Benefits plans (covering almost 9 million beneficiaries).5,6
As of 2017, 45% of employers with more than 500 employees covered ABA for the treatment of
ASD.7 Most companies of this size offer self-funded health benefit plans. The number of self-
funded health benefit plans covering ABA is rapidly increasing due to more effective
implementation and enforcement of the Federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act
(MHPAEA) by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and the judicial system. In their 2022 Report to
Congress, the DOL — which regulates self-funded health benefit plans —cited numerous
violations of MHPAEA related to the coverage of ABA for ASD.8 Corrective actions required the
removal of exclusions and limitations on coverage of ABA for ASD. From the DOL report:
“Research shows that early intervention and access to treatments like ABA therapy can
improve the trajectory of a child’s development, so delays or limits on access to
treatments like ABA therapy are especially harmful for children with ASD.”
CASP is in full support of required health insurance coverage for families impacted by ASD in
Brazil. We would be happy to provide additional information, as needed, to support your efforts.

A lista anexa de referências inclui estudos importantes que apoiam o uso de ABA abrangente e
focado para o tratamento de TEA e outras deficiências de desenvolvimento, entregues
pessoalmente e via telessaúde. 4Essa evidência foi considerada por legislaturas estaduais e
órgãos reguladores de seguros; tribunais estaduais e federais; e agências federais que
determinam serviços cobertos para funcionários federais e beneficiários do benefício de serviços
Antecipado e Periódico, Triagem, Diagnóstico e Tratamento (EPSDT) do Medicaid. Todos
determinaram que o ABA é eficaz para o tratamento do TEA.

A partir de 2017, 45% dos empregadores com mais de 500 funcionários cobriam ABA para o
tratamento de TEA.7 A maioria das empresas desse porte oferece planos de benefícios de saúde
autofinanciados. O número de planos de benefícios de saúde autofinanciados que cobrem a

EUA (DOL) e pelo sistema judicial. Em seu Relatório de 2022 ao Congresso, o DOL – que
regula os planos de benefícios de saúde autofinanciados – citou inúmeras violações do
MHPAEA relacionadas à cobertura da ABA para TEA.8As ações corretivas exigiram a remoção
de exclusões e limitações na cobertura do ABA para TEA. Do relatório DOL:
“Pesquisas mostram que a intervenção precoce e o acesso a tratamentos como a terapia ABA
podem melhorar a trajetória do desenvolvimento de uma criança, então atrasos ou limites no
acesso a tratamentos como a terapia ABA são especialmente prejudiciais para crianças com
TEA”.
O CASP apoia totalmente a cobertura de seguro de saúde necessária para famílias afetadas pelo
TEA no Brasil. Ficaremos felizes em fornecer informações adicionais, conforme necessário,
para apoiar seus esforços.
Atenciosamente,
