Applied Behavior Analysis employs a range of techniques for understanding and modifying behavior, with a key focus on positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement involves rewarding a person when they display desirable behavior, increasing the likelihood of that behavior being repeated over time.
In ABA, we also analyze the Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence (A-B-C) sequence, which helps us understand:
What triggers a particular behavior (antecedent).
The actual behavior in response to the antecedent.
The consequences that follow the behavior.
ABA services often involve collaboration with teachers, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and other professionals to ensure consistency across different environments
Collaboration ensures that goals are consistent across school, therapy, and home environments.
