Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA)

Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach to understanding and changing behavior. It uses principles of learning—like rewards and consequences—to encourage positive behaviors and reduce challenging ones. ABA involves observing an individual’s actions, identifying patterns, and then applying techniques to promote desired skills, such as social, communication, or self-care abilities. It’s often used to support individuals with autism and other developmental conditions, helping them improve quality of life through structured, evidence-based interventions tailored to their needs.
