Today we're welcoming you into the world of Applied Behavior Analysis!
We take what is typically messy and emotional and simplify the process using the science of human behavior.

ABA: Applied Behavior Analysis
Why do we do what we do?
Behavior is lawful, not random.
Behavior is a result of the impact of the environment
Behavior can be shaped or selected by the environement.
We can use Behavior Analytic strategies to change behavior over time
Our actions and behaviors tend to be framed in emotional terms.
Behavior analysis allows us to be objective and systematic.
What is a behavior?
Can a dead person do it? Then it's NOT a behavior!
How do you shift your environment and create spaces that cue behaviors
We'll also play a fun game of "Name the behaviors you've changed or shaped in the past using Behavior Analysis"
We'll reference behavior analytic concepts and reference the science but we'll also explain terms in every day language
