ABA examines the principles of learning and behavior and explores their effective use in applied settings such as schools, hospitals, mental health settings, and business. Individuals with training in ABA often go into professions where they support the behavioral needs of a variety of individuals.
Specific clients who may utilize ABA services include, but are not limited to:
- individuals with developmental disabilities,
- children or adults in school or home settings with behavior difficulties,
- institutions that serve those in need of behavioral intervention, and
- businesses seeking the enhancement of productivity through strategic organizational management planning.
