Seven dimensions to ABA
JOVIAL’s ABA services are consistent with the seven dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis described by Baer, Wolf, and Risley (1968).
Applied – Treatment focuses on behaviors and skills that are socially significant and meaningful to the patient and family.
Behavioral – Treatment goals focus on observable and measurable behaviors.
Analytic – Data are collected and analyzed to evaluate the relationship between treatment interventions and patient progress.
Technological – Treatment procedures and interventions are clearly defined and documented so they can be implemented consistently.
Conceptually Systematic – Treatment procedures are based on established principles of Applied Behavior Analysis.
Effective – Treatment is designed to produce meaningful and measurable improvements in patient outcomes.
Generality – Treatment promotes the maintenance and generalization of skills across people, environments, and situations.
