ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Association for Behavior Analysis International

Do you know what behavior means? It's what we do! Like brushing our teeth, playing with friends or even throwing a tantrum. But sometimes, some behaviors can be really hard to understand or change. That's where the Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI) comes in!

ABAI is a group of people who study and try to understand behavior. They try to figure out why people do certain things and how they can help people change their behavior for the better.

Just like how you have teachers at school who teach you things, ABAI has teachers too! These teachers help other people learn about behavior and how to change it. They also have a big event every year where people from all over the world come together to talk about what they have learned and share their ideas with each other.

The goal of ABAI is to help people live happier, healthier, and more productive lives by studying, understanding and changing behavior. So, if you ever have a behavior that's hard to understand or change, you can always look to ABAI and their teachers to help you out!
