A progressive behavior analyst will evaluate the reasons behind behaviors (their function) in natural settings, rather than in artificial or controlled environments. They carefully examine what happens before a behavior (antecedents) and what follows it (consequences) to develop effective strategies. Their training has provided them with the clinical judgement necessary to treat behavior in this manner.\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-197b283 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"197b283\" 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<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.\tIndividualized Curriculum and Goals:<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04eb725 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"04eb725\" 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<p>A key aspect of a progressive ABA program lies in how teaching targets are selected. Unlike relying on curriculum guides or assessments (such as VB-MAPP or ABLLS-R) to develop programs or set goals, progressive ABA focuses on creating highly individualized curriculum. Every program is tailored to the specific needs and abilities of each child, ensuring that the goals are meaningful and relevant to their development.<\/p><p>There is too much variability from person to person to utilize anything resembling a cookie cutter approach. However, identifying goals is not an easy task. It takes years of experience, training, and sophisticated clinical judgement to develop effective and appropriate programming for each child.<\/p><p>By understanding the unique features of progressive ABA and how it differs from conventional ABA, parents can make an informed choice when selecting a provider.
