The ABA therapy for autism is a therapy which helps to improve the social, educational, emotional, communication skills in a child through positive reinforcement. It is said to be a standard gold treatment for kids with ASD or any other developmental disorder.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy based on the science of learning and behaviour.
Behaviour analysis helps us to understand:
- How behaviour works
- How behaviour is affected by the environment
- How learning takes place
ABA therapy applies our understanding of how behaviour works to real situations. The goal is to increase behaviours that are helpful and decrease behaviours that are harmful or affect learning.
ABA therapy programs can help:
- Increase language and communication skills.
- Improve attention, focus, social skills, memory, and academics
- Decrease problem behaviours.
