Abstract
This chapter will introduce Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and its application into the general education setting. Briefly summarizing ABA’s history and its role within the special education field, this chapter will then elaborate on the general approach and model of ABA. As both a science and a philosophy, ABA’s utility across socially significant behaviors make its application relevant to all practicing educators.
