ABA – The Good, the Bad, & The Progress

There is controversy regarding Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), particularly when used as a comprehensive treatment for individuals with autism. It can be confusing for caregivers who are trying to determine treatment options and select providers for their child. In addition, some families and autistic adults may have experienced or heard of “ABA” treatments that do not follow best practices or are even potentially harmful.

This webinar is intended to help explain what ABA should look like – a treatment plan that is person-centered and promotes goals related to empowerment, independence, and overall happiness. We will also discuss what questions should be considered and asked when researching ABA providers and before beginning an ABA program.
