摘要

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a research-based approach to behavior modification used in therapeutic interventions for individuals with developmental and behavioral disorders. A critical component of ABA therapy is therapeutic consistency, which can be hindered by provider-related factors such as punctuality, attendance, and engagement. This paper uses a Gradient Boosting Classification Model to assess ABA provider effectiveness using multi-dimensional features derived from a novel dataset. We explore how machine learning, particularly Gradient Boosting, may help create a more predictive model for evaluating provider performance.
