What is ABA?

What is Applied Behaviour Analysis?

Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is a scientifically proven method that has had over 40 years of empirical research within the field of Autism and early intervention. The published research studies have documented the effectiveness of ABA across a wide range of settings and behaviours. Behaviours strands include: language, social, academic, and functional life skills. ABA breaks skills down to their most simple-form, so the child can learn. These skills are practiced intensively and then generalised across multiple settings with different people.
ABA uses a variety of learning techniques to help children learn. These include Discrete Trial Training (DTT), PECS, Video model, Natural environment teaching, Incidental teaching, Pivotal skills training, Chaining, and Shaping. 

DTT is one of the most important instructional methods for children with autism. DTT is primarily teacher initiated, this method breaks down the skills to be learned in simple steps.

At Leaps Ahead Early Intervention, we continue to evolve on the ABA learning and place great emphasis on the generalisation and spontaneity of skills learned. We seek to create scenarios where children take initiative in building up their own learning.
