Positive Reinforcement with ABA
+ Positive reinforcement is one of the main strategies used in ABA.
+When a behavior is followed by something that is valued (a reward), a person is more likely to repeat that behavior
+Over time, this encourages positive behavior change
.+ First, the therapist identifies a goal behavior. Each time the person uses the behavior or
skill successfully, they get a reward.
+ The reward is meaningful to the individual – examples include praise, a toy or book, watching a video, access to playground or other location, and more.
+Positive rewards encourage the person to continue using the skill. Over time this leads to meaningful behavior change.
