What is Applied Behavior Analysis?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an approach based on the study of the interaction between behavior and its environment.
It is an evidence-based approach found to be highly effective for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and special learning profiles.
The use of Applied Behavior Analysis generally emphasize on two areas: Skills Acquisition and Behavior Management.
Applied
Focusing on skills that are socially significant in order to improve clients' lives
Behavioral
Targeting skills that are observable and measurable
Generalised
Making sure that acquired skills could maintain over time and appear across different settings.
Effective
Evaluating data continuously and keeping the interventions effective
Conceptually Systematic
Implementing evidence-based techniques and teaching methods
Analytic
Making clinical decisions relying on ongoing data
Technological
Listing out procedures in programs clearly and concisely
How Can ABA Help?
Skills Acquisition
Over 60 years of extensive researches indicate that Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is highly effective for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and special learning profiles in developing skills in a wide range of areas:
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a widely supported approach that systematically teaches skills through structured, step-by-step methods. By breaking down complex goals into manageable targets, we guide learners to acquire essential skills with increasing complexity and confidence.
Behavior Management
A key focus of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is behavior management. To understand why certain behaviors occur, we analyze a learner’s behaviors by looking at what happens before (antecedent), the behavior itself, and what follows (consequences).
To facilitate learner in assimilating to their social surroundings, we guide learners to learn appropriate alternatives to reduce and replace challenging behaviors. By reinforcing positive behaviors and reducing challenging ones, we create a supporting environment that encourages self-control and social skills.
