Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach used to understand and modify behavior. It focuses on the principles of behavior, such as reinforcement and punishment, to encourage desirable behaviors and reduce undesired ones. ABA is often used in various fields, including education and therapy, especially for individuals with autism. By breaking down complex behaviors into smaller, manageable parts and using systematic methods, ABA professionals design interventions tailored to each person’s needs, helping them learn new skills and improve their quality of life through observable changes in behavior.
