The importance of ABA
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior. It focuses on understanding the relationship between a person's behavior and their environment. ABA therapy uses this understanding to increase desired behaviors (like communication, social skills, and adaptive living skills) and decrease undesired behaviors (like tantrums, self-injurious behavior, and aggression). It's a flexible and adaptable approach that can be tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual, from early childhood through adulthood.
