What is ABA Therapy?

ABA is short for Applied Behavior Analysis and simply put it is the application of behavioral principles to everyday situations. ABA therapy applies these principles to behavior treatments in a way to help reduce behaviors that may interfere with learning or behaviors that may be harmful. ABA therapy is used to increase language and communication skills. It is also used to improve attention, focus, social skills, memory, and academics. ABA can be used to help decrease problem behaviors. ABA therapy includes many different techniques. All of these techniques focus on antecedents (what happens behavior a behavior occurs) and on consequences (what happens after the behavior). One technique is “positive reinforcement.” When a behavior is followed by something that is valued (a reward), that behavior is more likely to be repeated. ABA uses positive reinforcement in a way that can be measured in order to help bring about meaningful change.
