ABOUT ABA
Applied Behavior Analysis, ABA, is a scientifically validated approach that:
1. Helps reliably identify environmental variables which influence socially significant behavior
2. Develops a technology to change behavior by taking advantage of specific discoveries
In laymen’s terms, ABA is a process in which systemic interventions are applied with the intention of identifying and addressing social and measurable behaviors in order to improve the quality of life, both for the individual AND his/her social network. By modifying interactions within an individual’s environment, behavior changes can be produced. ABA therapies are particularly efficacious for very early learners, especially when those learners are diagnosed with Autism (and/or other related developmental delays). At Rooted in Play, we encourage proactive teaching strategies from treatment’s conception in order to foster achievement across the natural environment.
