Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the application of the science of behavior to real life situations. The practice of ABA gained popularity in the 1980s and 90s with Dr. Ivaar Lovas' application of behavioral principles to children with autism.
Using discrete trial training (a process derived from behavioral principles to teach skills), he was able to demonstrate that children with a variety of behavioral difficulties were able to quickly gain new skills.Since that time, the practice of ABA has remained a gold-standard treatment approach to behavioral difficulties seen in some children with autism.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on obtaining, and maintaining, a life that is meaningful and based on personal values - regardless of the barriers life may present.
Originally developed by Dr. Stephen Hayes, ACT is an empirically supported therapy that: (1) helps individuals to define and clarify their values and what a values-based life would look like, (2) establish specific goals that are designed to help individuals engage in behaviors that feel important and meaningful, (3) help raise awareness of barriers to these meaningful actions and (4) teaches practical, effective strategies for continually striving towards a values-based life.
