What is Applied Behavioral Analysis?

Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) is a therapy that is rooted in the science of learning and behavior.

ABA helps clinicians, parents, and families understand that maladaptive behavior is affected by the environment.

ABA is an evidence-based intervention that has shown to be effective for lots of different disorders.

Here at Function First ABA, we like to provide ABA services with a trauma-informed care perspective.

A trauma-informed perspective allows a Board Certified Behavior Analyst to view behaviors

and consider many other factors that influence a child's emotional state and their behavioral responses.

It uses a variety of techniques to understand problematic behaviors and change those behaviors into positive ones.

Function First ABA utilizes techniques such as:

• behavior assessment & analysis

• positive reinforcement

• schedules of reinforcement

• and more to change behaviors
