What is ABA?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the study of human behavior, whose goal is to both understand and improve socially significant behaviors. Through careful observation of the environment, behavior analysts are able to design, implement, and modify a child's learning objectives in order to help them achieve their fullest potential.

ABA allows one to break down socially significant behaviors. Some socially significant behaviors, often targeted as part of early intervention for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) include: development of language, play and leisure, social, academics, emotional regulation, fine motor, gross motor, and life/adaptive skills. Behavior analysts are trained in a science that allows them to systematically understand the components needed for an individual to master these skills (i.e: behaviors), and then to plan learning objectives in order to ensure they master them as quickly as possible, and apply them in contexts where they should be used.
