Join Free →Generalization is a critical aspect of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), particularly for BCBAs working with autistic learners, as these learners may not generalize skills to holiday settings, people and environments -- without an intentional plan. The holidays are a great time to practice learned and acquired skill sets, and apply them in the novel environments your clients will encounter this holiday season. As behavior analysts, we are devoted to understanding behavior in order to change socially significant behavior to a meaningful degree. Our treatment outcomes should include what we want to see outside of the therapy setting, such as at home during the holidays with multiple people, like parents, grandparents, cousins etc. As the holidays approach, BCBA's can support the clients and families they serve with a plan including individualized tools, tactics, strategies, and tips that will help make the holidays, and these weeks leading up to them, a time of enjoyment rather than one of dread.
