Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
and
How It Can Help in Your Classroom
● ABA is the “science of human behavior”
● What do we want to see a student do more often? Less often?
● Practice makes perfect
● Rewarding success rather than punishing failure
● Myth: It can only be used for students or people with autism.
• Enhances and improves the everyday life of the learner and those who are
closest to the learner (parents, siblings, family, etc) by changing a socially
significant behavior.
• Behavior chosen must be observable and measurable
• Something you can see or hear, count and/or time
• By defining a behavior that makes it easily observable and measurable, we are
able to study it for proof of improvement, as well as lack of improvement.
• By defining a behavior, practitioners are able to collect data and show change
over time.
• What are some examples of something that would meet the behavioral definition
in your classroom?
• How might this apply to IEPs and personal goals?
•Focus on teaching kids meaningful developmental and life skills
•Individualized treatment – consider age, gender, ethnicity, interests, culture, and
family goals
•Building fun and positive relationships
•We teach new skills using two main types of teaching:
Discrete Trial Training (DTT) - more structured; lots of repetition
Natural Environment Training (NET) – more natural; play based
•Teaching & Rewarding:
We help a child to be successful so we can reward their efforts!
Over time, reduce our help so they are successful and independent
•Shhhh, don’t tell anybody. You can use this in your classroom as well!!
Take every opportunity to
reinforce behavior you want
to see more often!
