What is ABA Therapy?

ABA Therapy is predicated on the knowledge that behavior is strongly affected by the world around us. A study of behavior, called behavior analysis, with decades of research, has uncovered the motivators that promote positive and negative changes in behaviors. In applied behavior analysis (ABA), the data gleaned from those studies is put into action to create meaningful, applicable solutions to situations encountered at school, work, and in social and family settings. ABA uses objective measurements to guide therapy toward positive outcomes, teaching new skills and regulating positive and negative behaviors in ways that are relevant to each patient and his or her environment for ongoing, immediate feedback.
