Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the science that studies behavior with a focus on the social environment.

ABA is centered on analyzing individuals’ behavior and the environmental variables surrounding it—that is, what happens before and after the behavior. It also examines the learning processes that create new behaviors or modify existing ones.

SESSIONS

At ABAbility, we base our interventions on one of the fundamental principles of ABA: reinforcement.

We assess our students’ preferences to ensure they enjoy the sessions and the learning process, creating an environment full of fun and laughter.

The goal is to create a motivating context where the student enjoys learning and interacting with the professional.

PROCESS

  1. We assess the current skills of our learners.
  2. We identify potential skills that can be developed from the initial ones, considering their relevance.
  3. We personalize the learning process, focusing on communication and autonomy.

It is essential for professionals to act like scientists:

observe, collect data, create hypotheses,

observe, collect data, create hypotheses,

and test them by continuously gathering data during and after the intervention.
