What is ABA?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a set of laws and principles that govern learning and behavior, and is used to improve socially significant behaviors. ABA also measures and clarifies the science of learning, and is used in adherence with treatment programs such as The Lövaas Method. While ABA in itself is not a treatment, ABA governs the behavior of every living organism. Take your daily routine for example; setting the alarm, waking up and showering, eating and driving to work. Being on time vs. not, obeying traffic laws vs. not and knowing the consequences for these behaviors is ABA. Most people are fluent in ABA and don’t even know it.

Lovaas Autism Research
1997 US Surgeon General Report:
Thirty years of research demonstrated the efficacy of applied behavioral methods in reducing inappropriate behavior and in increasing communication, learning, and appropriate social behavior. A well-designed study of a psychosocial intervention was carried out by Lovaas and colleagues. Nineteen children with autism were treated intensively with behavior therapy for two years and compared with two control groups. Follow-up of the experimental group in first grade, in late childhood, and in adolescence found that nearly half the experimental group but almost none of the children in the matched control group were able to participate in regular schooling.
