Understanding the 7 Dimensions of ABA
The seven dimensions of ABA provide a framework to ensure interventions are effective, ethical, and individualized. These dimensions include:
Applied – ABA targets socially significant behaviors that are meaningful to the individual and their environment.
Behavioral – Interventions focus on observable and measurable behaviors to ensure clear tracking of progress.
Analytic – Decisions are driven by data, demonstrating a clear relationship between interventions and behavior change.
Technological – Procedures are written clearly and in detail, allowing others to replicate them accurately.
Conceptually Systematic – Strategies are based on established principles of behavior analysis, maintaining scientific integrity.
Effective – Interventions produce meaningful improvements in behavior.
Generality – Behavior changes are sustained over time, across different environments and people.
