Behavior Modification (Applied Behavior Analysis – ABA)
Behavior Modification
Behavior Modification, based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), is a structured, evidence-based approach that focuses on understanding and changing patterns of behavior through positive reinforcement and measurable goals. This therapeutic method is rooted in behavioral psychology and emphasizes how environment, reinforcement, and learning shape human actions. Sessions involve identifying target behaviors (e.g., aggression, non-compliance, self-stimulatory behaviors, or challenges in communication), analyzing the conditions under which these behaviors occur, and creating a customized intervention plan to replace them with more adaptive, socially significant behaviors. ABA techniques include functional behavior assessments (FBA), reinforcement schedules, shaping, prompting, and data-driven progress tracking. The process is highly individualized, collaborative, and relies on consistent evaluation to ensure positive, sustainable change in both home and school environments.

What to Expect
First Session:
A detailed behavioral intake and history are gathered. The therapist conducts a functional behavior assessment (FBA) to identify triggers, consequences, and environmental factors that maintain target behaviors. Goals are collaboratively set with parents or caregivers.
Second Session:
A tailored behavior intervention plan (BIP) is introduced. The therapist demonstrates strategies such as positive reinforcement, token systems, or visual schedules. Data collection methods are explained, and caregivers are coached on consistent implementation.
Ongoing Sessions:
Progress is reviewed weekly using quantitative data. Interventions are adjusted as necessary to ensure continued improvement. Parents receive ongoing training to generalize new skills across settings, with emphasis on building long-term independence, communication, and self-management skills.
