PRINCIPLES OF LEARNING
In home/ School/ Community Applied Behavior Analysis Services
for children and adolescents ages 2-20.
What is ABA?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) uses the scientific principles of learning and motivation in order to effectively teach. It focuses on the idea that the consequences of what we do affect what we learn and what we will do in the future. Based on “determinism”, ABA professionals believe that behavior does NOT happen out of nowhere and that it can be explained through its cause-and-effect relations from previous occurrences.
SKILL ACQUISITION
ABA seeks to decrease inappropriate behaviors or such behaviors that are harmful for your child and others, while increasing important skills fundamental to live a regular life. Positive reinforcement is used to increase more positive behaviors and social interactions.
CHANGING BEHAVIOR
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) focuses on changing inappropriate behaviors (tantrums, incidents of damaging property, physical aggression to others and self, etc.) through the use of interventions that work with the child’s motivation and function (reason) of behavior.
Parent training
Services also include Parent Training, in which the Behavior Analyst uses a systematic approach where parents or caregivers are taught techniques and strategies based on the principles of ABA. Parent training in ABA is typically individualized to meet the specific needs of the child and the family. It empowers parents to become active participants in their child’s therapy, promoting a supportive and structured environment that can significantly improve the child’s overall development and behavior.
