The techniques of ABA have been highly beneficial in educational settings. Teachers have utilized shaping, prompting, fading, and task analyses to break down complex behavior into small, attainable steps so that students can acquire the prerequisite skills they need in order to learn more complex behaviors.
Some common strategies in education are the following:
-Errorless Teaching
-Precision Teaching
-Stimulus Fading
-Functional Communication Training

One major field that operates on the science of ABA is the assessment and treatment of developmental delays and disabilities. One particular subfield of developmental disabilities that has gotten particular attention for its understanding and employment of the techniques and principles of ABA is the field of Autism Spectrum Disorders. Many treatment clinics and ABA programs have been developed world-wide to help address behavioral problems among people with ASD. Generally, the developmental and social skills are taught to individuals through a variety of techniques which may include:
-Most-to-Least Prompting
-Stimulus Fading
-Priming
-Modeling
-Token Systems

Many animal trainers and persons interested in working with a variety of creatures have learned a great deal about how to be effective in their training by understanding ABA. The guiding principles and many techniques that we use to address human concerns can also be applied to situations in which an animal is trying to learn a new skill or has behavioral issues. Many trainers offer different opinions on the use of reinforcement versus punishment, but similar techniques have been found across all types of training and species. Some of the most common techniques are:
-C.A.T
-Forward and Backward Chaining
-Shaping
-Clicker Training
-Target Training

Rehabilitation from physical injury or drug addiction has been of great interest to many different scientific fields. In every rehabilitation program, a vast amount of contingencies and behaviors are involved to not only promote desirable behaviors, but also reduce the likeliness of relapse or future physical instability. Therefore, the principles and techniques of ABA have been utilized to encourage more efficient recoveries and future maintenance of behaviors.

Gerontology

Gerontolgy has benefited from the understanding of ABA because many behaviors are either not maintained or lost due to physical and mental side effects of aging. However, techniques and principles of behavior have addressed a variety of aging concerns by strengthening previous behaviors, arranging positive environmental contingencies, and teaching certain skills that help to promote independence, self-awareness, and physical capability. Some of the common practices that are used include:
-Memory Prompting
-Activity Schedules
-Community Engagement
-Token Systems
