Book a ConsultationWhat is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapeutic approach based on the science of learning and behavior. It focuses on understanding how behavior works, how it is influenced by the environment, and how learning occurs. ABA is widely used to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other developmental or behavioral challenges.
Core Principles of ABA
- Positive Reinforcement: Rewarding desired behaviors to encourage repetition.
- Behavioral Observation: Tracking progress and identifying triggers for certain behaviors.
- Task Analysis: Breaking complex skills into small, manageable steps.
- Generalization: Helping children apply learned skills in different settings (home, school, social environments).
