International communities are encouraged to foster Education for All launched by UNESCO in 1990s. Regardless of their disabilities, special needs children are entitled for a quality education. However, autism children face behaviour problems which block learning and teaching in classroom. Behaviour modification techniques among these children will help teachers and parents modify negative behaviours to enable positive learning environment. The aim of this paper is to analyse the behaviour modification practices for autism children. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) model is used to identify articles from the database of Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), Research Gate and Google Scholar. 115 articles were identified at initial stage regarding behaviour modification among autism children however only 16 articles were selected for this study. The selected articles are from the year of 2018 to 2024. The findings of the study were divided into four themes; ABA, PECS, social stories, and video modelling. Consistency and knowledge among special education teachers are important to practise behaviour modification in classroom. PECS, social stories, and ABA are frequently used behaviour modification practise while video modelling is least due to time constraints among special educators. In future, these techniques can be documented in easier manner to be practiced by teachers and parents on daily basis.
