Module 5: Applied Behaviour Analysis

Trainers: Seher Suhail and Trisha Hanrahan

Applied Behaviour Analysis is founded in research and science. It is one of the most effective approach for kids with autism in particular but also for kids without.

ABA empowers you by demonstrating that the variables responsible for a person’s behaviour are found in the environment and that if we change the environment, we can change behaviour. Therefore your responses can influence the young person’s behaviour, in turn effecting his/ her learning and growth.
