What is ABA?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapeutic modality used to teach functional skills and improve socially imporant behavior to students that might struggle to learn these things in a typical classroom setting. ABA therapy is most commonly used to teach those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) but can be helpful for a myriad of diagnosis and conditions. ABA uses extensive Data collection and analysis to continually improve interventions and therapeutic efficacy. It is applied intensively in a 1:1 setting anywhere from 15 to 40 hours per week.
