ABA PlayThe ABA Play method was developed by Caroline Peters and comprises a number of phases which are worked through during the training. | 1 | Always begin by making yourself interesting and attractive to the child. Observe and find out what the child likes. | | 2 | When you know what the child likes, reward appropriate behaviour and stop rewarding inappropriate behaviour. | | 3 | Teach the child to ask for things he wants. We call this 'manding'. | | 4 | Through play, teach the child different skills such as imitation, following instructions, playing etc. | | 5 | Teach the child to work at a table, as preparation for school or because some skills are learnt faster at a table. | | 6 | Teach the child to play with other children at playdates or preschool, or shadowing at school. |
