Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a time-proven, evidence-based, successful method that focuses on understanding and utilizing how behavior is influenced and maintained. Behavior is communication and ABA helps interpret what your child is trying to express through their behavior set. ABA looks at the reason behind the actions of each child, and the circumstances under which they occur to teach appropriate ways of reaching the goal of each specific behavior. The goal of ABA therapy is to develop new skills, shape and refine previously learned behaviors, and decrease problem behaviors to help each child succeed.
Verbal Behavior (VB) therapy teaches communication and language. It is based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis and the theories of behaviorist B.F. Skinner. This approach encourages people with autism to learn language by connecting words with their purposes. The child learns that words can help them get desired objects or results.
Verbal Behavior therapy does not focus on words as labels only (cat, car, etc.). Rather, it teaches why we use words and how they are useful in making requests and communicating ideas.
VB and classic ABA use similar techniques to work with children. VB methods may be combined with an ABA program to work towards communication goals.
