ABA vs Floortime vs other techniques

I wasn't sure whether to start a new thread or tag it onto the active ABA thread going at the moment.

I'm very new to these techniques, DD2 is 17 months old and the only dx we have is dev delay. She is making good progress but we do have a lot of catching up to do. About a month ago I started the 'floortime' technique which is proving to be successful (although tiring). Her eye contact and interaction and come on leaps and bounds already. With weekly Physio/OT/SALT and Portage her dev is also coming along nicely.

My question really is firstly what is ABA and how does it compare to floortime, or what are the differences? Also, what other techniques are there if any? I have no idea if they are totally different and used to different problems or whether they compliment eachother. I just want to be sure I'm doing the right thing by DD2. Thanks xx

That sort of interation is great. When I see it in kids I work with, my heart soars.
