Many children with special needs experience behavioral challenges as part of development. But, through proper guidance and organized intervention, such problems can be used to their advantage to grow. The principles of Applied Behavior Analysis are used to approach behavioral support in a caring, scientific and consistent manner at Third Eye Centre.
The centre is concerned with the “why” of behaviours, thus allowing children to form good habits and develop emotional regulation and enhanced socialization skills.
ABA is a scientifically tested methodology, which observes behavior and its environmental interactions. It is commonly applied in order to favour children with such conditions as Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
ABA has three main aspects:
- Antecedent- What precedes an action.
- Action -What is done.
- Consequence – The outcome of the action.
This systematic examination assists therapists to grasp patterns and develop effective interventions.
