Antecedent
What happens before a behavior.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
ABA services are behavior-based therapy programs that help people build useful skills and reduce behaviors that interfere with daily life. The core idea is simple: understand why a behavior happens, then teach a more helpful alternative.
Overview of ABA
ABA is most commonly used to support children with autism, but it can also help teens and adults improve communication, social skills, independence, and emotional regulation.
What ABA services typically include
- Behavior assessment — A practitioner observes and identifies which skills or behaviors need support.
- Individualized treatment plans — Goals are tailored to the person's strengths, challenges, and family priorities.
- Skill-building sessions — Teaching communication, social interaction, daily living skills, or coping strategies using structured or naturalistic methods.
- Behavior reduction strategies — Understanding what triggers challenging behaviors and replacing them with safer, more effective behaviors.
- Parent training — Families learn how to support progress at home.
- Progress monitoring — Data is collected to adjust strategies and ensure the person is improving.
The Core Principle
ABA focuses on the relationship between three parts of every behavior. By changing these conditions, ABA helps shape more helpful behaviors over time.
Behavior
The action itself.
Consequence
What happens after the behavior.
