Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses techniques based on learning principles to improve specific behaviors and skills, particularly in individuals with autism or developmental disorders. ABA focuses on understanding how behavior is learned and reinforced through interactions with the environment. Therapists observe behaviors, identify triggers, and use positive reinforcement to encourage desirable actions while reducing unwanted behaviors. The goal is to help individuals develop functional skills, enhance communication, and foster independence in everyday activities. ABA is often tailored to each person’s needs, making it a versatile and effective treatment option.
