ABA is for anyone who wants to improve, manage, or reduce behaviors, and a behavior is any observable and measurable action. ABA at its core is a way to teach. What would really be amazing was if all great teachers were also trained in basic ABA knowledge.
People in a state of Relaxed Alertness experience low threat and high challenge (Caine & Caine, 1991/1994, 2010). Essentially, the learner is both relaxed and to some extent excited or emotionally engaged at the same time. This is the foundation for taking risks in thinking, questioning, and experimenting, all of which are essential to mastering new skills and engaging higher-order thinking. In this state the learner feels competent and confident and has a sense of meaning or purpose.
Being trusted with the minds of the future is a beautiful lesson in humility.
