As an ABA/Behavior Therapist, you are to utilize the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with clients. The therapist will work to motivate the client through positive reinforcement of good behaviors and ignoring unwanted behaviors. While learning what the client likes and dislikes through a process called "pairing", the therapist will use these preferred items or activities to encourage the client to perform wanted behaviors or answers. During this process, the therapist should be noticing what is the function of the client's behaviors. Discrete Trial Training (DTT) is another part of ABA therapy which is used to help clients identify, label and differentiate between different items or objects. Through this method of ABA therapy, the client should increase their ability to communicate and socialize while decreasing unwanted behaviors.
