Dana Do’s: How to Easily Break Down the 7 Dimensions of ABA

An easy way to break down the 7 dimensions of ABA

PTB co-founder Dana Meller shares an easy way to break down the 7 dimensions of ABA by using the dimensions to define what it means to be a behavior analyst, which in turn, makes it much easier to discriminate between each dimension.

Behavioral

A dimension of ABA, which explains that ABA treatment must target measurable and observable behavior.

Applied

A dimension of ABA, which explains that ABA treatment must aim to improve socially significant behaviors in real-world settings.

Technological

ABA terms you need to know: technological.

A dimension of ABA, which explains that ABA procedures must be defined clearly and in detail. Hence, they are replicable and can generate the same results as the previous implementation …
