Mia Rayne's Journey: Part 2 of 2, Mia and Applied Behavioral Analysis

Part
1, Kari Porter talks about Applied Behavioral Analysis, ABA.  Kari describes ABA as, “… looking at the behaviors in which people are engaged.  Some may be problematic.  Others may be a skill we want to increase such as communication.  The objective is to maximize opportunities for positive growth.”

She goes further to describe how ABA helped Mia Smith to adopt a behavior necessary for her safety and social  development. “We designed a program to help Mia recognize and respond to a voice.  She was interested in several things.  But, if she was engaged in
something, a movie or some other media on her mobile tablet, even if one of her
favorite people said her name, she didn’t turn to look at them."

Part 2 Kari’s her experiences in being on both sides of the table concerning a student.  She worked for public schools and now aids parents and their kids in discussions with educators.
