Stella is absolutely right, there is a great deal of evidence about the harmful effects of ABA, in its history and up to the present day.

Some therapists argue vehemently about how they are kind and caring, thats nice, but ABA is unregulated and there are many harmful situations out there, the whole premise is one of altering the child's nature to enable it to reproduce NT behaviour in an artificial way.

Psychiatrists have to be regulated, teachers do, speech therapists do, ABA therapists arent, anyone could set themselves up as one, parents need to be very careful indeed. It means nothing for one practitioner to say "I do a good job", good for you, but would you let your child see an unregulated doctor or dentist, I know I wouldnt.
