his is the factor that determines the occurrence of the behavior in the future.
One common technique used in ABA therapy called positive reinforcement. With positive reinforcement, the Autism Therapist rewards the person for desired behaviors, such as making eye contact or saying words correctly. This encourages the person to keep doing these behaviors so that he or she can get more rewards. Another common technique used in Autism Behavior Therapy call shaping. Shaping involves gradually teaching the person new behaviors by rewarding small steps toward reaching the final goal behavior.
For example, if someone is trying to learn how to brush his teeth, the therapist might first reward him for putting toothpaste on his toothbrush. Once he masters this step, the therapist would then move on to rewarding him for putting water on his toothbrush and so forth until he finally learns how to brush his teeth correctly.
How is ABA evidence-based?
Applied Behavior Analysis is known as evidence-based therapy because when a therapist applies a protocol to one particular child and then repeats the same protocol on ten other children, every child will respond the same way.
As a field of study, practitioners have rigorously researched the effectiveness of ABA for decades. The BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) refers to these research papers and designs the therapy plan accordingly.
Benefits of Applied Behavior Analysis
The therapy customized as per the child’s liking, interests, and needs.
It can be provided all around the child’s environment: at home, school, center, and within the community in one-to-one or group sessions.
The most beautiful part is the parents can also learn ABA. If a problem behavior occurs in places such as home, school, or playground where the therapist is unavailable, the parents can independently calm down the child.
