What is ABA?
Behaviour Analysis is a natural science approach to understanding behaviour. Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is the use of Behaviour analytic methods and research findings to change socially significant behaviours in meaningful ways. ABA is not simply an intervention for Autism but has been used successfully in a range of different areas including education, parenting, behaviour management, industry, drug abuse, gambling etc.
In relation to Autism, research has demonstrated that when early intensive intervention with ABA is used, almost all children make significant gains and a high percentage can achieve mainstream education placements. Since the early 1960s, hundreds of researchers have documented the effectiveness of ABA principles and methods for building a wide range of important skills and reducing problem behaviour in individuals with autism and related disorders of all ages.
