What Makes Behavior Analysis a "Science?" by Nancy Rosenberg https://padlet.com/nancyr2/c0xttbyxxwop What does this mean? How does it distinguish behavior analysis from other approaches to treatment of developmental disabilities? en-us 2017-10-02 22:50:38 UTC 2025-12-12 22:46:23 UTC hello@padlet.com DIRECTIONS nancyr2 https://padlet.com/nancyr2/c0xttbyxxwop/wish/390136302 Each breakout room create a post-it labeled with your group's number (use the + sign in the lower right hand corner).  Choose one person to type your group's ideas onto the post-it.]]> 2019-09-26 16:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nancyr2/c0xttbyxxwop/wish/390136302 Hello https://padlet.com/nancyr2/c0xttbyxxwop/wish/390352698 2019-09-27 01:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/nancyr2/c0xttbyxxwop/wish/390352698 post it krlevy16 https://padlet.com/nancyr2/c0xttbyxxwop/wish/390353113 2019-09-27 01:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nancyr2/c0xttbyxxwop/wish/390353113 Breakout Group#1 Crystal Martinez, Chengyao Wang, Tyler Force, Devon Lawrence https://padlet.com/nancyr2/c0xttbyxxwop/wish/390353721 -You are taking data very systematically and daily.

Behavior Analysis embeds speech and OT in behavior approaches, and we have the ability to assess our results and change our approaches. We are constantly collecting data from systematic approaches, and analyzing results, determining what works and doesn’t work.

We use the data that we collect to make a plan of action and it will change over time based on the data. In a sense, we are constantly making a hypothesis on the function of the behavior and that's the basics of science. 

2)  The difference between ABA and these approaches is what we are measuring. While the data collection may be similar, the focus is of the method may differ. Though we do not know enough of other methods to make a comparison.
