ABA therapy focuses on understanding behaviours and teaching new skills by using principles of reinforcement, such as rewarding positive actions, visual supports, prompts and prompt fading, and scaffolded learning.

Therapists design personalised treatment plans based on each individual's needs, goals, and challenges, which can include improving social skills, communication, academic skills, and adaptive behaviours like self-care and attention. ABA therapy is highly structured, involving one-on-one sessions where skills are broken down into small, manageable steps, making it easier for individuals to learn and retain new skills.
