A graduate of Wayne State University, Tedi Teabout is the clinical director and CEO of ABA Adaptive Services. Tedi Teabout is experienced in conducting functional and behavioral assessments and has provided parents and staff with training on the strategies of applied behavioral analysis.
Applied behavioral analysis (ABA) is a form of therapy that aims at improving specific skills such as communication, reading ability, and social efficiency, as well as academic abilities. Adaptive learning abilities like personal hygiene, grooming, motor skills, punctuality, domestic capabilities, and job competency can also be facilitated with the aid of applied behavioral analysis. Applied behavioral analysis is beneficial for adults and children in various settings, which include schools, the home, the workplace, and clinics. It has been proven that persistent practice of applied behavioral analysis can greatly improve behavior and skills and also reduce the need for future special services or therapy.
In many cases, applied behavioral analysis is used in treating those with autism. According to the Center for Autism, ABA helps to improve social efficacy, the ability to acquire new skills, and maintain good and healthy behaviors in autistic patients. It is also effective in aiding aging adults cope with memory loss, weakness, declining relationships, and disentanglement with reality.
