Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach used in occupational therapy to improve children’s motor learning by linking behaviors to their environment. It focuses on how antecedents, behaviors, and consequences interact, using reinforcement to encourage desired actions. Effective skill development is supported through structured practice (massed, distributed, constant, and variable), with research favoring intensive and varied, play-based activities for children. Feedback—both about how a task is performed and its outcome—helps refine performance, while positive reinforcement (such as praise or rewards) increases motivation. Overall, ABA combines targeted practice, meaningful activities, feedback, and reinforcement strategies to improve learning and long-term skill retention.
