ABA Therapy: Based on the principles of learning

ABA therapy stems from B.F. Skinner’s research on behaviour change through positive reinforcement.
Behaviour is shaped by consequences; reinforced behaviours become habitual, while unreinforced behaviours fade.
ABA uses specific, incremental goals to help children with autism develop essential life skills.
Strategies like prompts and rewards encourage desired behaviours, facilitating communication and social interaction.
One-on-one therapy offers personalised support, enabling children to achieve milestones that once seemed unattainable.
Emphasising the intrinsic value of every individual is vital in interactions and community understanding.
