About ABA
Our Approach
What is ABA?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the evidence-based practice and set of interventions often associated with Autism Spectrum Disorders and other developmental disabilities. ABA is a set of princples based on the science of learning and behavior.
What Does ABA Include?
ABA includes treatments that increase useful or desired behaviors and reduce maladaptive behaviors by analyizing environmental factors.
How Does it Work?
Connections 2 ABA, LLC uses the strategies of Applied Behavior Analysis, which have been scientifically proven to sucessfully remediate core deficits of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ABA includes direct observation, measurement, and data analysis to develop, shape, and reinforce behaviors.
Since the behaviors are based on environmental relations, training family members and other professionals within the child's environment is crucial for the success of the individualized program.
Assessment
We use a variety of assessment tools that can include the VB-MAPP (verbal communication measurement), the AFLS (Assessment for Functional Living Skills), and the Autism Social Skills Profile and/or the Social Skills Checklist (social skills assessment tools).
Connections 2 ABA, LLC also utilizes preference assessments and reinforcement assessments to motivate learners and teach new behaviors.
