What is a characteristic of rigid ABA?

Rigid ABA is characterized by an unvarying adherence to protocols. This approach emphasizes consistency and strict adherence to established procedures and techniques. Practitioners of rigid ABA typically follow predefined guidelines with little to no modification based on the unique circumstances or individual needs of the students they are working with. This can ensure uniformity and reliability in how interventions are implemented, but it can also limit responsiveness to the diverse needs of learners. In contrast, flexibility in teaching methods, creative lesson planning, and adaptive strategies imply a level of customization and responsiveness that is not characteristic of rigid ABA.
