Welcome to the first episode of ABA Without the Jargon, a new mini-series from The Misfit Behaviorists where we take common ABA and special education terms and translate them into everyday language.

In this episode, we're tackling the biggest term of all: ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis).

We'll break down:
✔️ What "Applied" really means
✔️ What counts as behavior
✔️ Why analysis is simply figuring out what's working and why
✔️ Common misconceptions about ABA
✔️ How teachers, therapists, and parents already use ABA strategies every day

Whether you're a special education teacher, paraeducator, RBT, BCBA, parent, or just curious about behavior support, this episode provides a practical, no-jargon explanation of what good ABA should look like in today's classrooms and homes.
