Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach to understanding behavior and how it is affected by the environment. ABA uses evidence-based techniques to improve socially significant behaviors through positive reinforcement.

Strategies & Intervention Methods
Reinforcement-Based Interventions
Reinforcement is a fundamental principle in ABA. Positive reinforcement involves providing a reward following a desired behavior, making it more likely to recur. Negative reinforcement involves removing an unpleasant stimulus following a desired behavior, also increasing its likelihood. These interventions are tailored to an individual's needs and preferences to effectively promote positive behavior changes.
Intervention Strategies
Discrete Trial Training (DTT)
A structured method that breaks down skills into small, teachable components.
Natural Environment Teaching (NET)
Teaching skills within the natural environment, using everyday activities and interactions.
Skills Based Training (SBT)
Skills-Based Training (SBT) can be an effective approach for addressing challenging behaviors in young children. By focusing on developing specific skills, SBT helps children learn alternative, positive behaviors that can replace problematic ones.
