Question 3

What is Applied Behavior Analysis?

Accepted Answer

Behavior analysis is the science of behavior. It focuses on behavior change to improve people's lives. Applied behavioral analysis (ABA) is applying the science of behavior to transform someone's life through reduction of unwanted behaviors and through skill acquisition. Skill acquisition includes language, social, cognitive, and self-help skills like toileting. It may include developing fine and/or gross motor skills like holding a spoon to eat, picking up items, writing/drawing, or walking or running. ABA is not magic. It is a time intensive focus on learning skills and making new mental connections. Decades of research have shown that intensive ABA treatment is the most successful approach for children with autism, and it is widely recognized by a number of sources including the U.S. Surgeon General, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the National Institute of Mental Health. Source: bacb.comThis video was created by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board and is an overview of Behavior Analysis.
