What is ABA therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis Therapy is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior, primarily used to help individuals with autism and other developmental disorders. ABA can be used to treat skill deficits and behavioral excesses in a variety of domains including social, adaptive, communicative, and behavioral.
The 7 Principles of ABA
Applied: Focuses on socially significant behaviors that improve the lives of individuals and their families.
Behavioral: Deals with observable and measurable behaviors rather than mental states.
Analytic: Demonstrates a functional relationship between the environment and behavior through data collection.
Technological: Procedures are described in clear, detail-oriented terms so they can be replicated by others.
Conceptually Systematic: Interventions are base on the principles and research of behavior analysis.
Effective: Produces meaningful and significant changes in behavior that are clinically or socially relevant.
Generality: Ensures that behaviors change in a way that lasts over time and occurs across different environments.
