Issues with ABA Today.
I’ve been in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) since 2011 and the field is changing, but not enough to support actual neurodivergent-affirming and trauma-based strategies. As an industry, we need to understand our impact and listen to those that have received ABA first hand. Only then, can we move forward and change for the better.
People that are opposed to ABA but only say “ABA is bad” do nothing to actually help change the industry. If we can pinpoint the specific issues, then things can change.
