FAQs
Helpful Answers
Find answers to common questions about Applied Behavior Analysis and behaviors tips below.
What is Applied Behavior Analysis?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a way of helping children learn and grow by understanding how behavior works. It focuses on teaching new skills, encouraging positive behaviors, and finding gentle ways to reduce challenges that may get in the way of learning or daily life. ABA breaks things down into small, manageable steps so children can build confidence and independence at their own pace. Whether it’s learning to communicate, make friends, or complete daily routines, ABA provides support and celebrates every step of progress along the journey.
What is an IEP?
An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a special plan designed to help a child succeed in school. It is created for students who need extra support with learning, behavior, or other challenges. An IEP is built by a team that includes teachers, parents, and specialists, and it outlines the child’s unique goals along with the services and strategies that will help them reach those goals. Each IEP is tailored to the student, making sure they get the tools and support they need to learn, grow, and thrive in the classroom and beyond.
