building (2658 Mt. Vernon Ave). See you there.  ** SEE UPDATED CALENDAR OF EVENTS ***The facts about Applied Behavior Analysis Applied behavior analysis (ABA) methodology involves the application of basic behavioral practices (positive reinforcement, repetition, and prompting) to facilitate the development of language, positive skills and social behavior as well as to help reduce everyday social problems and serious behavior disorders. Data collected through hundreds of studies currently indicate that ABA is a highly effective method to teach children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and other developmental disabilities, as well as with brain injuries and other conditions. Reprint from 2007 National Autism Center.K.S.A.B.A. Vision/Mission Kern Society for Applied Behavior Analysis
(K.S.A.B.A.) is an opportunity for professionals in Kern County and neighboring areas to gather, support and communicate regarding
an important topic. As many professionals from this area travel abroad for conferences, jobs and collaboration, it appears
that Applied Behavior Analysis techniques, education and availability are limited in Kern County. K.S.A.B.A. will participate
in and support activity to facilitate positive change in the area. If Central California is going to earn the respect it desires
for serving those in need appropriately, more help is necessary. * Review Links, Professionals
