Jake and Andrew are quite similar in many ways -- both adored by their parents -- and both diagnosed with autism while they were in pre-school. Both Jake and Andrew received an expensive, intensive and to some, a controversial therapy known as Applied Behavioral Analysis or ABA. It's not a cure for autism. However, applied early, the intensive and highly-structured teaching of skills can work minor miracles and over a long period of time, can have a dramatic impact on learning skills and social interaction. ABC News correspondent John Donvan explores how this treatment is being hailed as one of the few known keys to unlock the mysterious doors of autism.

Hoping for more
Frankly, I was hoping for a detailed explanation of ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) and how it works. This DVD simply says that ABA helps children with Autism and tells the story of two children it has helped. I already knew that. There are scenes of therapists and parents using ABA but no detailed description of the procedures.
