What is ABA
ABA Therapy is...
ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is the science of studying behavior. It is a way of looking at why behaviors occur by considering the individual's environment, motivation, and learning history. ABA is a process of breaking complex skills into smaller parts that are easier to learn. ABA uses data to make decisions. Most importantly, ABA should make meaningful and positive changes a persons life.
Types of ABA
There are thousands of ways to implement the science of ABA and it's important to find what works best for each person and situation.
​
Therapy can be provided anywhere between 1 and 40 hours a week depending on the age and skills of the individual.​
Who Provides ABA?
At Behavior 4 All all services are provided by a masters level Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). This allows continuous evaluation and adaptation of programing, interventions, and goals.
How is ABA different?
​The main difference between ABA and talk therapy, speech, occupational, or physical therapy, is the emphasis on why people are responding in a specific way. A BCBA will focus on the client's individual learning patterns to identify tools that will work best in each situation.
ABA works well in combination with other therapies. The BCBA will often discover the best learning style for the child. While other professionals focus on their specialties.
