Compass Behavioral & Developmental Consultants LLC

In Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), behaviors are often understood by their function—what the person is trying to achieve. The most common framework is S.E.A.T: Sensory, Escape, Attention, and Tangible.

-Understanding the “why” behind a behavior helps families and clinicians choose more effective, compassionate supports so communication needs are met in healthier ways.

When people ask about the “4 types of ABA”, it often refers to key teaching approaches used within Applied Behavior Analysis. 💭

🌟At Compass Behavioral, we commonly use Discrete Trial Training (structured teaching), Natural Environment Teaching (learning in everyday settings), Pivotal Response Treatment (targeting pivotal skills to drive broader change), and Functional Communication Training (replacing challenging behavior with effective communication).
