What is Applied Behavior Analysis?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science that involves using principles that have been scientifically proven to reduce maladaptive behaviors and teach socially significant skills by modifying the environment. Through ABA, qualified professionals are able to assess the relationship between a targeted behavior (behavior you want to change) and the environment in which it occurs.
ABA interventions are best known for treating people with Autism and other developmental disabilities. They can be helpful in teaching new skills, managing compulsive or repetitive behaviors, improving functional language, reducing problematic behaviors, and enhancing social skills.
