What is ABA?

Behavior analysis is the evidenced-based science behind how all behaviors are learned and maintained.  Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the application of this science in real life.  It has been empirically shown to be effective in a wide variety of areas, including parent training, substance abuse treatment, dementia management, brain injury rehabilitation, occupational safety intervention, and others. However, because ABA was first applied to the treatment of individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism, this practice area has the largest evidence base and has received the most recognition.
