- Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is a set of principles that form the bases for many behavioural treatments. ABA is based on the Science of learning and behaviour
- ABA Therapy is used to increase language and communication skills. It is also used to improve attention, focus, social skills, memory and academics.
- ABA Therapy can be used to help in decreasing problem behaviours.
- ABA Therapy includes many different techniques. All of these techniques focus on ABC {(what happens before behaviour occurs antecedents) and what happens after behaviour}.
One technique is “Positive Reinforcement”.
- ABA uses Positive Reinforcement in a way that can be measured in order to help bring about meaningful behaviour change.
