What Is ABA?
ABA, known as Applied Behavior Analysis, is considered a scientific evidence-based treatment for behavioral deficits. “Evidence based” means that the ABA interventions have been proven through scientific research for their usefulness, quality, and effectiveness.
ABA is based on the science of learning and behavior. This science includes general “laws” about how behavior works and how learning takes place. ABA therapy applies these laws to problematic behaviors and behavior skill deficits to boost desirable behaviors and increase skills. This is accomplished by teaching appropriate replacement behavior(s) and utilizing positive reinforcement.
ABA utilizes data collection techniques to measure progress to gauge whether treatment is effective or if a modification needs to be made, which is crucial across the treatment process.
