ABA interventionists also work with caregivers to share and teach the strategies that are effective in improving their children’s skills and decreasing problem behavior.

- Use strategies such as prompting, shaping, chaining, reinforcement, and error correction to increase your child’s performance
- Examine the environmental variables that maintain the problem behavior
- Use strategies to decrease the problem behavior while still teaching the target skill
ABA interventionists also work with caregivers to share and teach the strategies that are effective in improving their children’s skills and decreasing problem behavior.
