ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis. In a nutshell, ABA uses the science of behavior to solve real-life problems of social importance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The way it works is quite simple. Behavior analysts analyze the circumstances leading up to and following a behavior and make changes in those circumstances, hoping to thereby change the behavior over time. They continually take data to determine if the desired behavior change has been achieved, and make adjustments based on the data analysis.\u00a0<\/span>For more info, see our article \u201cWhat is ABA.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

ABA is just applying what we know about the science of behavior to make it easier to behave the way we want to in the future. The science of behavior is already present in so many aspects of our life, we just don\u2019t realize it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even though ABA is a kind of therapy often associated with those diagnosed with autism, the truth is that almost anyone who has a behavior they wish to change can benefit from it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And many do. There is no one demographic that ABA is exclusively for. People of all ages, backgrounds and needs have benefited from trying it.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the day, ABA is just applying what we know about the science of behavior to make it easier to behave the way we want to in the future. The science of behavior is already present in so many aspects of our life, we just don\u2019t realize it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All these are ways the science of behavior is used in the natural environment:<\/strong><\/p>\n
