Applied Behavior Analysis
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach to understanding behavior. ABA refers to a set of principles that focus on how behaviors change, or are affected by the environment, as well as how learning takes place. The term behavior refers to skills and actions needed to talk, play, and live. While these principles impact everyone each day, they can be applied systematically through interventions to help individuals learn and apply new skills in their daily lives.
ABA requires the implementation of established principles of learning, behavioral strategies, and environmental modifications to improve and teach new behaviors. In practice, implementation must be systematic so teachers can identify how behavior can be changed and understand how learning occurred.
The ultimate goal of ABA is to establish and enhance socially important behaviors. Such behaviors can include social, communication, and daily living skills; essentially, any skill that will enhance the independence and/or quality of life for the individual.
The Process
One of our Chicago-based Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) will come to your home, and/or your child’s school, to do a comprehensive developmental evaluation. The evaluation process always starts with a meeting with you, the guardian, where we learn all about your child’s history, your concerns, and your goals for your child. We use evidence based assessments such as the VB-MAPP, ABLLS-R, AFLS, and PEAK. The BCBA then creates an individualized treatment plan that targets your child’s skill deficits in each developmental domain.
