What is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behaviour Analysis is a scientific approach to understanding how environment and behavior interact. ABA therapists analyze a child's current skills and challenges, then design individualized interventions based on principles of learning. The focus is on increasing helpful behaviors (like communication, social skills, and daily living skills) and decreasing challenging behaviors (like aggression, self-stimulation, or tantrums) by using positive reinforcement and data-driven strategies.
