What does the word, "Behavior" mean?
• In order to understand ABA, it is critical to
understand what is meant by behavior.
• Behavior is anything a person does. Behavior is
measurable and observable.
• Often behavior is thought of in negative terms, for
example, screaming or hitting.
• However, behavior applies to all kinds of positive
actions and skills too, including greeting a peer,
performing a math problem, signing a letter, asking
a question, and so on.
• When behavior is discussed in the context of ABA,
it is generally considered in three different
contexts.

What does the word, "Behavior" mean?

1. Behaviors that are to be maintained over time,
   such as a child who has learned to brush his
   teeth or the adolescent who has learned to
   manage a check book.


2. Behaviors that should be increased. For the
   person who is unable to request something to
   eat or interact with a peer, teaching these skills
   is a priority.


3. Behaviors that need to be decreased. Obviously,
   a parent wants to see a child spending less time
   screaming or having a tantrum, in this case, the
   parent would also want to see positive behaviors
   increase, such as communicating or asking for
   help.
