You all indicated you'd rather switch the stream over to this week to be able to hear about the research thing first. So, come hang out with me on my birthday live! (We're just going to hang out like normal, it's not like a stream of a party or anything lol. Just want to make sure that made sense.)

![Will better regulation for RBTs fix ABA?
Were going to be going over a recent article by Spectrum News that starts out as though it were a critique of some issues in ABA (applied behavior analysis) and basically ends up suggesting that all bad ABA is because of undertrained or bad RBTs (registered behavior technicians), and if they were better regulated with more oversight, there would be a great reduction in bad ABA, and that its these poorly trained RBTs giving ABA a bad name.
This video contains a lot of my emotions and opinions. Its quite a bit more sassy and opinionated than my average video, and if youd prefer to learn about the ABA situation from a much, much less biased standpoint, you can check out the research video I did.
A much fairer and well-researched video about ABA from its beginnings to now: https://youtu.be/tuRZrto-ZwE
