Overview
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the process of systematically applying intervention based upon the principles of learning theory to improve socially significant behaviors while demonstrating through data analysis that there is a direct correlation between the intervention and the behavior change. ABA is researched-based and proven to be the most effective way to treat individuals of all ages with autism spectrum disorders and other behavioral concerns. ABA can be used for addressing a variety of issues including skill deficits and problem behaviors. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is endorsed by the American Medical Association and United States Surgeon General.
