Ethics CEUS: 2

ABA is a science that can be applied in any number of ways to support people to meet their goals. However, ABA has a dark history of abuse. Opponents of ABA are starting to get recognized in the mainstream and are sharing stories of abuse they endured years ago. The refrain that often is stated is “That is old ABA”   This is alienating to the populations we try to serve and creates a barrier to our field doing better. As a field we need to listen to these critisms so we can create programing that is trauma informed, client centered  and most importantly- kind.
