Overview and Applications of Applied Behavior Analysis

While working in the field of behavior analysis, it is best practice to not only work on reducing challenging behaviors but to teach new skills which benefit the lives of our clients. In order to accomplish this, it is important to understand basic concepts and principles, as well as various evidence-based practices within Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). In this session, we will discuss and provide strategies such as motivating operations, differential reinforcement, contingency contracting, and procedures to promote the maintenance of new skills. While these topics are not a “One Size Fits All” application, they can be individualized to meet the needs of varying situations. As the ICPN – Rockford Behavioral Team, we want to share our passion and love for ABA with you all.
