The science of not being a dick was very elaborated on

I work in the ABA field and would also like to know. Especially the view claiming we are encouraging ableism.

I have definitely done more good than harm to this world through my work but of course I hear some ABA horror stories that can be chalked up to what seems like malpractice, the same way any other field has malpractice from their professionals.

Hi this is amazing to me and the type of much needed creativity we need in teaching the kids!

I am a behavioral therapist for children with developmental disabilities.

What other professionals do you coordinate with or would you want to coordinate with. I am sure other occupations can use similar strategies such as speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, etc.

To go along with that, who do you consult with to make sure you are being effective? Like is data taken?

Thank you for all you do.

Yes, often times the school district structure does not allow effective implementation of what we recommend the kids need to succeed. From being short staffed, to not having time, and not having resources among other things.

Even rules like if a child has disrobing behavior at home, we can be more physical in blocking the disrobing at home or in the community. But that same behavior we can’t really do much in the school because being physical with the kids is limited and the kid is therefore pretty much allowed to.

What works and what is actually able to be applied are 2 different things.
