The children in classes that were using the behavior analysis started to faster. ABA is not a therapy, it’s a science Ivar Lovaas pioneered the use of behavioral analysis to improve the autonomy of autistic children, with excellent results. Although ABA methods have evolved, they are still based on encouraging the child's autonomy and fostering healthy behavior through interaction with the environment. Behavior is everything that we do as humans. For example if we want to teach something new, we start by analysing the behavior, figure out our next steps and reinforce every step closer to our goal.

Join Waitlist It’s about optimizing human behavior in a way “to make the world a better place” (B. F. Skinner) When you work with adults, its a matter of helping them in daily life. Applying ABA and its principles correctly means relying on children's extraordinary ability to adapt to their environment and learn new things quickly. Their brains are still developing, and so will their behaviour. I use the principles of ABA therapy because it has more impact on the child's future life . The aim is to reinforce the behavior that will help the child to learn by itself. Problem behaviour like screaming, biting, tantrums, blows, etc. are often the result of skill deficits. Using the principles of ABA we can analyse the problem behaviour and determine which skills the child has to learn for the problem behaviour to go away. For example to be able to ask for help or simply get what they need or want. Want to be notified when the app is launched? An error occurred. Try again later Congratulation!

It can be words, touch ou just sounds. The aim is to establish communication. Imitation It teaches your child to focus on the right thing . Most of the time, you must think your child is not paying attention to what you are showing him at all. Actually, he IS paying attention but to an other thing instead. Matching If your child has autism, it might be complicated for him to put infos he gets in the right place in his head. You must teach him to prioritize - and thus select the information that is most useful for him to remember in specific contexts. Self Help You're probably concerned about your child's independence. This principle will help him to take care of himself , to ask for help or to teach him concepts such as potty training.
