Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior. It’s also data-driven which allows the therapist to collect data in each therapy session. Data helps them to monitor the person’s overall progress toward goals on an ongoing basis. ABA focuses on socially important behaviors. It’s a flexible problem-solving therapy that can be adapted for the unique needs, goals, and interests of each individual. Benefits include increasing and maintaining communication language, intellectual function, and socially important behaviors including: attention, situational awareness, adaptive skills, interaction and relationship management, and academic performance.
