What is ABA/VB?

Simply, ABA is based on the principal that learning takes place because our environment reinforces it.  ABA therapists use specialized teaching procedures and reinforcement techniques to improve social and cognitive development. There is substantial research supporting that ABA is the most effective tool therapists, educators and parents have to teach new skills and shape behaviors.

 

Verbal Behavior is the use of ABA to elicit, shape and improve communication for functional and social use. Verbal Behavior allows parents, teachers and therapists to use principles of ABA during daily interactions in the natural environment.
