When an action is followed by something valuable, like a reward or other positive outcome, a person is more likely to repeat that action. These incentives\u2014such as compliments, a book or toy, watching a video, playing a favorite activity, and others\u2014are significant and motivating to the recipient. The concept includes creating an environment where a learner\u2019s actions are immediately followed by an outcome that is favorable to them. Typically these are programmed and structured reward systems at first, such as earning a candy when you finish a matching game. Then the favorable outcomes are transitioned to more naturally occurring positive outcomes such as being able to play with friends on the playground after your homework is finished. For all people, the more often a favorable outcome occurs after a specific action, the more likely you are to keep doing that action. As this continues, the result is typically a significant behavioral change for the learner.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12ca38a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"12ca38a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Naturally Planned Occurring Behaviors: <\/strong>Individuals have the opportunity to learn and practice a wide range of skills each day. Many of these are positioned in both structured and natural learning environments. For instance, someone learning how to greet others might do it in a scheduled classroom environment with a teacher and other kids or in a more casual setting on the playground at recess. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba605fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ba605fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Discrete Trial Training:<\/strong> This technique utilizes the ABC method, which is a common theme throughout all of ABA: Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence. The therapist gives an instruction or asks a question, the learner has an opportunity to answer, and the therapist provides feedback of the answer being correct or incorrect. This practice continues with the therapist also using cues or hints to help the learner get the right answer and then receive the reward or favorable outcome (e.g. a sticker for identifying the blue truck as \u201cblue\u201d). This technique gives learners a chance to practice a skill in a structured and distraction-free environment. The skills are practiced with repetition and consistent feedback from the therapist. This strategy helps learners who need more practice on a specific skill thrive especially with complex skills like language concepts. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5761d82 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5761d82\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLet\u2019s move on to how to be more involved in your child\u2019s ABA therapy program and parent training as a component of the ABA therapy program.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83b48b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"83b48b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why Parent Involvement in ABA for Children Matters: Parents Guide to ABA\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a9e7956 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7a9e7956\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhile certified therapists are dedicated to your child\u2019s program, why is parent involvement crucial?
