ABA , or applied behavior analysis, is the application of empirically derived techniques based on the interaction between behavior and its environment. Being that behavior analysis is a data driven science, it relies heavily on objective information, direct observation and measurement, and the systematic arrangement of events to obtain desirable behavior. Specific to the treatment of developmental disabilities, these evidence-based procedures are implemented to acquire and maintain functional skills such as communication and social skill development. ABA focuses on breaking down complex skills into prerequisite and component steps, and teaching in a systematic and individualized manner, whether the targeted behavior is simple (such as increasing frequency of eye contact) or complex (maintaining social interactions).
