Erratum to: Editors’ Note: Important Topics in Applied Behavior Analysis as it Relates to Autism

Abstract

In our recently published introduction article (i.e., Cihon et al., 2023) to a special issue of the lnternational Electronic Journal of Elementary Education we provided an introduction and brief description of each of the articles included in the special issue. In this article we referred to an article written by Gershfeld-Litvak, which has been retracted at our request due to the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that led to numerous inaccuracies within the reference and the body of the paper. Below is the paragraph that was written in the original manuscript:

Original paragraph:

“Linnehan and colleagues begin a discussion about the contingencies leading to the development of certification and licensure within ABA as well as the resulting unintended consequences. Kazemi extends the discussion of certification and licensure to the challenges and benefits of accreditation of organizations. Gershfeld-Litvak provides a balanced discussion of the possible benefits and drawbacks of private equity entering into the field of ABA-based interventions for autistics/individuals diagnosed with ASD.”

Following the retraction, the paragraph should read as follows:

“Linnehan and colleagues begin a discussion about the contingencies leading to the development of certification and licensure within ABA as well as the resulting unintended consequences. Kazemi extends the discussion of certification and licensure to the challenges and benefits of accreditation of organizations.”
