Applied Behavioural Analysis
Applied Behavioural Analysis
Page Content
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
is an evidence-based approach to systematically promote socially significant behaviours. ABA focuses
on the observable relationship of behaviour to the environment, including antecedents and consequences, to determine why behaviour is happening. By functionally assessing the relationship between a targeted behaviour and the environment, the methods of ABA can be used to change that behaviour.
Methods of Applied Behavioural Analysis include but are not limited to:
Visual Strategies
Prompting
Task Analyses
Shaping
Chaining
Modeling
Reinforcement
Data Collection
Programs are:
Individualized - Including student strengths
and needs
Proactive
Maintained using positive reinforcement
techniques
Analyzed based on data collection
Designed to incorporate generalization strategies so skills are demonstrated across multiple environments
