Applied behavior analysis is the study of learning and behavior. ABA professionals follow a systematic and data-informed process to assess behavior, develop personalized therapy plans and ultimately help people change their behavior. The goals of ABA vary from person to person, but usually, the objective is to decrease harmful behaviors and increase helpful behaviors that promote learning. ABA can also be used to teach new skills, improve behavior and help people reach their full potential.
