- Techniques:
– Conducting functional behavior assessments (FBAs) to identify antecedents and consequences influencing behavior.
Implementing strategies based on positive reinforcement, prompting, shaping, and chaining to teach new skills and modify behavior.
- Application
– Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD. –Developmental Disabilities- ADHD)
Evidence Base:
- Research Support : ABA is supported by a substantial body of empirical research demonstrating its effectiveness in improving behavior and skills across different populations and settings (Smith et al., 2020).
