ABA principles are used in a variety of settings to refine skills, reinforce appropriate behavior, and eliminate target behavior.
Schools
School Sensitivity Training
Classroom or school-wide training provided to promote friendships, acceptance, tolerance, and support among various groups and diverse groups embedded within the school culture.
Individual Student Consultation
Support provided for teachers regarding specific student needs, which may include the development of specific goals, data collection systems, behavior plans, and specific accommodations or modifications as needed to promote student success.
Classroom Management
Support provided to classroom teachers with development of data systems, progress monitoring, positive behavior support systems, and curriculum modification to target student and teacher needs in the classroom. Positive Behavior Support (PBS) is a classroom management strategy that includes use of explicit teaching about acceptable behaviors, proactive strategies, and implementing incentives, positive praise, rewards, and reinforcers to increase desired behaviors among students.
School and Classroom Environmental Engineering
Assistance provided with developing an environment that is conducive to learning and success for all students in the classroom and other school areas which may include organization, environmental supports, floor plan design, and specific student needs.
School-Wide Positive Behavior Support
Support provided with developing plans to incorporate Positive Behavior Support principles to entire school settings, which may include initial consultation and plan design, ongoing support, and periodic supervision to monitor and strengthen programs. For the school setting, Positive ABA can develop a PBS plan designed for a school-wide approach, which may include include: proactive supervision; building unity across all staff members to support PBS; broad incentives programs (token economy systems); tangible earned rewards for positive behaviors; ecological layout of campus areas; developing common verbiage to be used with faculty for pre-correction, redirection, and praise; and creating programs that provide explicit instruction for acceptable and expected behaviors at school.
