What is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)? 

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapeutic approach grounded in the principles of learning and behavior science.

​

A - "Applied": ABA interventions address significant behaviors that hold importance in the client's life or the lives of the client's caregivers.

B - "Behavior": Behavior encompasses any action performed by an individual.

A - "Analysis": Analysis involves the capacity to assess and document alterations to gain a deeper understanding of changes in behavior.

​

ABA promotes positive behaviors while discouraging negative ones to enhance a diverse set of skills. The child's advancements are systematically monitored and assessed.

​

Using empirically validated methods, ABA addresses challenging behavior and imparts a broad spectrum of skills crucial for a rewarding and enriching life.

​

Developed over a century ago, ABA is a comprehensive treatment approach aimed at deepening our comprehension of the learning process. Through over a century of research and clinical application of behavioral learning principles, our understanding has evolved regarding the intricate interplay between our experiences, the environment, and how we learn and engage.

ABA stands out as a comprehensive treatment plan recommended for individuals with Autism, backed by scientific evidence affirming its effectiveness as the sole intervention with such empirical support.

​

When working with children on the Autism Spectrum Disorder, it is essential to assess each student's unique deficits, whether they involve attention, language, play, or social skills.

Upon identifying the intricate skills requiring development, we systematically break them down, teach until mastery is achieved, and then assist students in applying these skills in future scenarios. The individualization of each student's program underscores the versatility of effective ABA, making it applicable to a wide range of learners.
