What is Applied Behavior Analysis?

by | Aug 1, 2025

Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA, is a way of helping people learn and improve everyday skills by focusing on how behavior works and what motivates it. It’s especially common in supporting individuals with autism, but it can be helpful for anyone who needs support with communication, social skills, or routines. ABA uses simple, step-by-step strategies to encourage positive behaviors and reduce ones that get in the way. The approach is flexible, personalized, and based on tracking what’s actually working, so progress is clear and meaningful.
