Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA therapy, is a scientific, research-based therapeutic technique that assists people with autism in acquiring a variety of skills required for successful, independent functioning in a variety of contexts.

What are the key principles of ABA therapy?

ABA therapy is guided by principles that reinforce, prompt and shape behavior in such a way that it will generalize to everyday life. These principles help BCBAs design interventions that are effective in addressing the unique needs of each individual.

How will people with autism benefit from ABA therapy?

Individuals with autism can benefit from ABA therapy by developing their everyday living, communication, school learning, and community functioning skills. ABA therapy assists individuals by dissecting intricate behaviors into smaller, easier-to-manage parts.

What types of behaviors are addressed with ABA Therapy?

Many behaviors, including those related to communication, social skills, academics, self-care, and problematic behaviors including violence, self-harm, and tantrums, can be addressed with ABA therapy.

How might an ABA therapy session normally look like?

Based on the needs and objectives of the client, each ABA therapy session is customized for the particular person. Play-based intervention, structured sessions, one-on-one training, group activities, and other naturalistic teaching techniques may all be used in the sessions.

How is ABA therapy progress assessed?
