What is ABA?
Applied Behavior Analysis is the science of behavior. Applied Behavior Analysis is how that science is applied in real life. It is directed at understanding what causes and maintains human behavior. The focus of ABA is to analyze, understand, and change meaningful behaviors in socially significant ways.
Some of the key features of ABA include:
- Emphasis on the "causes" of behavior in applied settings (i.e., home, classroom, grocery store);
- Emphasis on observable, measurable behavior;
- Repeated evaluation of progress;
- Proactive approaches that look to changing the environment to change behavior;
- Socially significant effects are sought;
- Accountability for everyone involved in the intervention;
- Treatment strategies can be refined and adjusted based on objective data of progress.
