Applied Behavior Analysis

What Is ABA?

Applied behavior Analysis is the science of human behavior. It involves systematic implementation of interventions to improve socially significant behaviors. Through observation and data collection and analysis, behavior analysts are able to identify environmental factors that are responsible for changes in behavior and test the effects of interventions. This data-driven science aims to replace maladaptive behaviors by increasing positive, prosocial behaviors – leading to increased independence and social inclusion.

As mentioned above, ABA is the science of human behavior – this includes all humans.
