What are the principles that underpin the use of behavioural interventions?

When behavioural interventions are used in the context of ABA, they reflect seven dimensions (more information):

• Applied – targeting socially significant behaviours.
• Behavioural – specifically addressing a measurable behaviour.
• Analytic – demonstrating a functional relation between the delivery of an intervention and change in the behaviour.
• Technological – including a clear and replicable explanation of procedures.
• Conceptually systematic – using strategies that are clearly linked to the underlying theory.
• Effective – ensuring that the magnitude of behaviour change is clinically and socially significant.
• Generality – ensuring the change in skills/behaviour generalises across interactions and contexts, and is maintained over time.
