ABA therapy stands for Applied Behavior Analysis therapy. It is a type of therapy that focuses on improving specific behaviors, such as social skills, communication, reading, and academics, as well as adaptive learning skills, such as fine motor dexterity, hygiene, grooming, domestic capabilities, punctuality, and job competence. ABA therapy is commonly used to help individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or other developmental disabilities.

In ABA therapy, behavior analysts use principles and techniques derived from the science of behaviorism to systematically change behavior. These techniques often involve breaking down desired behaviors into smaller, more manageable tasks and using reinforcement and prompting to teach and reinforce those behaviors. ABA therapy typically involves one-on-one sessions between the individual and a trained therapist, but it can also be implemented in group settings or at home.

The goal of ABA therapy is to help individuals develop new skills, reduce problem behaviors, and improve their overall quality of life by increasing positive behaviors and decreasing negative behaviors. It is considered an evidence-based practice and is widely used in the treatment of autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities.
