Independence in daily living skills is a key goal of ABA therapy. These skills allow children to participate more fully in home, school, and community life.
Daily living skills include dressing, toileting, hygiene, eating, and completing routines. While these tasks may seem simple, they often require complex step-by-step learning.
ABA breaks these skills into smaller steps using task analysis. Each step is taught, practiced, and reinforced until the full skill is mastered.
