Guest guest Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 You don't need to do an " ABA " program at all to manage behaviors. The ABA/VB intensive programs are designed for teaching language, learning, and social skills. The principles of applied behavior analysis can also be used to manage isolated behaviors as well. Mark Durand, one of the developers of the Functional Behavior Analysis paradigm also has a free on-line tool that will help determine which of the 4 functions a behavior serves.

Behavior Management experts can help you with just that problem or develop an entire program, you don't have to go broke to get help. Lina Ealy > > > > I think you are misinterpreting the situation.
