Psychologist Dr. David Adams Explains the Importance of Positive Reinforcement
An important principle that is practiced in ABA is the use of reinforcement to strengthen desired behaviors. It is an effective tool used to assist children on the autism spectrum.
Yet how does reinforcement help with changing behavior?
Positive Reinforcement can be useful if applied correctly to shape a child’s behavior and to help teach them the correct skills to use in the future. It can be used to teach and implement communication, social skills, self-help, table manners and a variety of different behaviors.
