A scientific approach to changing behaviors that employ scientifically established principles of learning to bring about these changes. There are four important characteristics of ABA:
- The behaviors targeted for change are behaviors that can have real-life applications for the person we are working with.
- We are working with real, observable, measurable behaviors rather than some abstract diagnosis.
- The procedures used in ABA are based on scientifically based on scientifically established principles of learning.
- Decisions in ABA are made based on objective data that is collected to help understand what effect, if any, the interventions being used are actually having on the behavior.
