What is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)?

Applied Behavior Analysis can be used for all types of people (regardless of age, race, gender, etc.), in all settings and for different purposes. Some examples include helping others build new habits, eating healthier, and helping young children complete tasks more independently. However, ABA has been proven to be an evidenced-based practice for children with autism spectrum disorder. It is the process of systematically applying interventions based on the principles of behavior and the learning theory to change socially inappropriate behavior to socially appropriate behavior. Other examples of skills to work on using ABA include academics, communication, social skills, adaptive living skills, and helping reduce problematic behavior such as tantrums, aggression, self-injury, and verbal protests.
