What is ABA?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientifically-based approach that applies principles of learning to improve meaningful behaviours. It involves systematically teaching small, measurable behaviours while continuously tracking and evaluating progress to ensure data-driven, effective outcomes. ABA targets a broad range of skills within a developmental sequence, including functional communication, social/play skills, cognitive abilities, pre-academic skills and self-care. Commonly used to enhance a variety of skills, ABA is also effective in reducing challenging behaviours. Its adaptability makes ABA an effective approach that can be customized to meet the diverse needs and goals of each individual.
How ABA Works in Everyday Life
ABA therapy is grounded in the work of psychologist B.F. Skinner, who developed operant conditioning theory to explain how behaviour can be influenced by altering its consequences. Parents naturally use similar principles when interacting with their children, like offering praise when a child says their first word. This simple example illustrates a basic form of ABA in everyday life.
Effective ABA interventions are not a one-size-fits-all approach. Rather, they are individualized to each learner’s unique skills, needs, interests, preferences, and family context. As a result, ABA programs vary from one learner to another, ensuring a tailored approach that best supports each individual’s progress.
