Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)


is a type of therapy frequently applied to children
with Autism and other developmental disorders
that focuses on imparting skills in specific
domains of functioning, such as social skills,
communication, academic and learning skills,
motor dexterity, hygiene and grooming, and more.

ABA utilizes positive reinforcement to

teach and promote social skills,

communication abilities, learning

and academic skills, and self-care habits.

ABA is commonly practiced as a therapeutic

intervention for individuals with Autism.

According to the Center for Autism, ABA helps

people with Autism improve social interactions,

learn new skills, and maintain positive

behaviors.

ABA also helps transfer skills

and behavior from one situation to another,

controlling situations where negative

behaviors arise and minimizing negative

behaviors.

ABA is most successful

when intensely applied for more than

20 hours a week and prior to

the age of 4.

ABA can also help aging adults cope with the

losses that come with age, like memory, strength,

and relationships. For young and old, ABA can help

individuals manage some of the lifestyle

challenges that accompany many mental and

physical health conditions.

TYPES OF APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS

❖ Discrete Trial Training (DTT) - DTT was the first version


of ABA. In DTT, specific skills are broken down into
smaller, discrete steps.
❖ Incidental Training - This method employs the same
reward-and-prompt approach as DTT.
❖ Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) - Rather than
teaching a specific task, PRT teaches more general
skills like taking turns or initiating conversations.
