What is Applied Behavior Analysis?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science-based approach to understanding and addressing behavior. It focuses on how behavior works, how it's affected by the environment, and how learning takes place.

At its core, ABA helps individuals build meaningful skills—like communication, social interaction, and daily living—while reducing behaviors that may interfere with learning or independence.

ABA is widely recognized as an effective treatment for autism and other developmental disabilities, and is tailored to meet the unique needs of each person.

Through positive reinforcement, structured teaching, and data-based decision making, ABA helps individuals make lasting progress in areas that matter most to them and their families.

At Progressive Behavior Advocates, we use ABA to empower children and adults with individualized support that promotes growth, independence, and a better quality of life—all delivered with compassion, advocacy, and scientific integrity
