What is Applied Behavior Analysis?
In the 1960s, behavior analysts began working with children and adults with autism to learn more about how behavior techniques could be used to encourage functional and appropriate behaviors and help build new skills. For example, they learned that positive reinforcement can be used to increase specific behaviors, and often used various forms of reinforcers (rewards) to promote these positive behavioral changes.
Since that time, Applied Behavior Analysis has been endorsed by the U.S. Surgeon General, and is now known as a safe and effective treatment for autism, with a variety of techniques developed for young children, adolescents, and adults. Methods of Applied Behavior Analysis can be used in a classroom setting by educators, at home with parents and siblings, or at social, group functions like team sports events or parties.
