Applied Behavior Analysis is the systematic application of behavioral principles to change socially significant behavior to a meaningful degree. What does that mean? ABA improves the lives of its clients by providing a foundation of behavioral principles and basic teaching procedures that guide therapists, teachers and parents. Its systematic implementation can lead to changes in behavior that can benefit the client. These changes may include decreases in problem behavior, acquisition of language, and aquisition of life skills. Our objective is to train professionals and parents to implement behavioral analytic principles in the home, school, and community environments.
