Based on a bibliographic review in the Google Scholar database, the research is carried out deepening the ABA method, the application of behavioral interventions in Christian educational institutions, and some guidelines are suggested for formalizing a department or sector within the institution, focusing on people with disabilities. The proposal presented lists some functions and activities that this institution sector should perform.
