What is ABA therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy is the science of Human Behavior & how it can be used to help people. Board Certified Behavior Analysts (or BCBAs) study behaviors and how they work for an individual. By understanding what keeps behaviors operating, BCBAs then use that information in applications that teach desirable and more appropriate behaviors.
Communication deficits and problem behavior frequently occur together. ABA therapy is an especially useful tool in figuring out what factors contribute to the problematic behavior and what the behavior itself has a history of communicating. This information can inform programs that give the learner what they've been missing, allowing them to access more appropriate social interactions and communicate (independently!) their specific needs and preferences.
