Conceptually Systematic ABA Lessons from Bubbee

"Why ABA is Like a Kosher Kitchen: How Jewish Grandmas and Behavior Analysts Have a Lot in Common"

"Jewish grandmas and behavior analysts have more in common than you might think. They both know the importance of having the right tools and procedures to get the job done. Just like a kosher kitchen needs to have separate dishes for meat and dairy, behavior analysts use procedures that are described in terms of basic principles. Let's pair each dimension with a Jewish dish to illustrate:

Applied: Like a well-seasoned matzo ball soup, ABA interventions are practical and can be applied to real-life situations.
Behavioral: Just like the perfect bagel and lox, ABA interventions are precise and measurable.
Conceptually systematic: Like a complex, layered dish such as lasagna, ABA procedures are designed based on basic principles and are systematically applied.
Effective: Like a savory brisket, ABA interventions are proven to be effective in changing behavior.
Generality: Like a versatile challah bread, ABA interventions are designed to promote generalization and lasting behavior change.
Technological: Like a perfectly cooked latke, ABA procedures are based on technology and science.
With ABA, you're like a Jewish grandma in the kitchen - always prepared and ready to serve up some behavior change."
