ABA is the design, implementation, and evaluation of

environmental modifications to produce socially significant


improvement in human behavior. ABA includes the use of direct
observation, measurement, and functional analysis of the
relations between environment and behavior. ABA uses changes
in environmental events, including antecedent stimuli and
consequences, to produce practical and significant changes in
behavior. These relevant environmental events are usually
identified through a variety of specialized assessment methods.
ABA is based on the fact that an individuals behavior is
determined by past and current environmental events in
conjunction with organic variables such as their genetic
endowment and ongoing physiological variables. ABA focuses
on treating behavioral difficulties by changing the individuals
environment rather than focusing on variables that are, at least
presently, beyond our direct access.
