✌️😎 Benefits of Applied Behavior Analysis 😎✌️

https://www.autismspeaks.org/applied-behavior-analysis

ABA. Applied Behavior Analysis. An evolving field of science with the potential to solve many problems we encounter in life. A science focused on QUALITY of LIFE for all.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
ABA. The APPLICATION of scientific principles of human learning & behavior. Principles that apply to ALL humans, not just those with autism. Principles that are fundamentally compassionate and accepting of a person’s true self and preferences.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Some families report negative experiences with ABA (and we believe them). However, if you have a negative encounter with a pediatrician, you don’t quit medicine- you find a new doctor! We suggest the same for those who have experiences with ABA that were negative or lacked progress.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
But where do you start? What questions should you be asking prospective providers? How many therapy hours are really needed to make progress? What settings should therapy occur in and with who?

✨🌟Stay tuned to posts this week for FUN (and accurate) FACTS about ABA. 🌟✨
