Teaching Daily Living Skills Through ABA

ABA isn't just for reducing problem behaviors. It's also used to teach important self-care and independence skills that help children function more successfully at home and in the community.

Skills Commonly Targeted

• Toileting

• Brushing teeth

• Dressing

• Handwashing

• Preparing simple meals

How ABA Approaches These Goals

• Tasks are broken into small, manageable steps.

• Reinforcement encourages progress.

• Visual supports and schedules are often used.

When daily routines become teachable moments, children gain confidence and families experience less stress.
