ABA Basics
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the leading treatment for increasing functional behaviors and decreasing problem behaviors in individuals with autism. These parent training videos provide a clear overview of the techniques and strategies used in ABA to gain behavior change. These techniques have been chosen because they are the most accessible to parents. We cut through the scientific language and provide a clear explanation on how to most effectively utilize the strategies.
In this series we will demonstrate the basic principle of applied behavior analysis. Reinforcement is the crucial component of fostering behavior change. Once we understand this concept, we can begin to utilize it to help our child.
Behavioral skills training (BST) is an excellent strategy to use to increase functional, safety, and communication skills for when we are unable to teach in real-world scenarios due to danger or lack of opportunity.
In this series we explore the use of token boards in developing new and difficult behaviors. We demonstrate how these boards can be realistically used by parents and caregivers.
In this series we will demonstrate how to utilize noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) with your child with autism. This is a great antecedent strategy for decreasing problem behaviors such as destruction, tantrums, and aggressions.
Functional communication is a critical tool in ABA to replace problem behaviors. Review this series to see how to best implement functional communication with your child or dependent and how to fade the level of reinforcement.
