7 Dimensions of ABA

Shira Karpel & Shayna Gaunt
About this episode

ABA is a data-driven and evidence-based field. The 7 dimensions of ABA are the core principles that ensure effectiveness in each treatment plan. As BCBAs, we had to memorize these 7 dimensions for our exam, but it may have been a while since you last revisited them. Here, we recap each dimension and show you how to apply them in your own ABA programs.

The 7 dimensions of ABA are applied, behavioral, analytic, technological, conceptually systematic, effective, and generality. Our walkthrough of each dimension includes real-world examples so you can picture them in action in your own practice with your learners. 

What’s Inside:

  • The importance of using the 7 dimensions of ABA in practice
  • A walkthrough of the 7 dimensions
  • How to use the 7 dimensions with your learners
