What is ABA?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a popular intervention approach for individuals with disabilities, especially young children with autism. ABA practices typically involve the following elements:
- Managing the consequences of behavior by rewarding positive behavior, withholding positive consequences, or – in some cases – using punishment (e.g., scolding) to deter behavior.
- Re-arranging antecedents to promote positive behavior and minimize the likelihood of problem behavior (e.g., clarifying expectations, simplifying tasks, and providing choices.
- Teaching skills that allow individuals to be more successful and less reliant on problem behavior to meet their needs.
