What Makes Therapy Truly ABA?
To be considered Applied Behavior Analysis, an intervention must meet all seven of these criteria:
Generality
The behavior change lasts over time, appears in other environments, or spreads to other behaviors.
Effective
The intervention produces strong, practical results for the client.
Technological
Procedures are written so clearly and detailed that anyone can read them and replicate them perfectly.
Applied
The behavior selected for change must be socially significant to the client and improve their life.
Conceptually Systematic
Interventions are consistent with the research-based principles of behavior analysis.
Analytic
We use data to prove that our intervention is what caused the behavior change.
Behavioral
We focus on observable, measurable behavior.
