Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has evolved from its roots in behaviorism to become a leading approach for understanding and modifying behavior across diverse populations and settings. This chapter provides an overview of its historical foundations and developmental trajectory, emphasizing key milestones, influential figures, and contemporary trends.
This course explores the foundations of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and the growing role of Virtual Reality (VR) in educator training. Through a blend of theory and hands-on simulation, participants practice evidence-based strategies—such as reinforcement, prompting and fading, task analysis, and behavior skills training—within structured VR learning experiences. The course emphasizes ethical practice, effective feedback, and the transfer of skills to real educational settings, supporting educators working in inclusive classrooms and with learners who need targeted behavioral support.
