This journal article tells us that Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) has been around for decades. But unfortunately there have been very quiet a few misconceptions. She wants us to clear this up and gives us a clear cut definition “ABA is a scientific approach to understanding and altering behavior” (Gambrill, 2012 p.126) Part of the reasoning behind the confusion behind ABA is that in the past ABA was references as many different topics and very rarely called ABA outside of the BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analysis) circle.
