What the state says the job is
Behavior Analysis is the scientific study of principles of learning and behavior. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a systematic approach for influencing socially important behavior through the identification of reliably related environmental variables and the production of behavior change techniques that make use of those findings. Behavior analysts study how biological, pharmacological, and experiential factors influence behavior. Recognizing that behavior is something that individuals do, behavior analysts place special emphasis on studying factors that reliably influence the behavior of individuals, an emphasis that works well when the goal is to acquire adaptive behavior or ameliorate problem behavior. Professional behavior analysts provide services consistent with the dimensions of ABA.
