We're 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 it's these poorly trained RBTs giving ABA a bad name.
This video contains a lot of my emotions and opinions. It's quite a bit more sassy and opinionated than my average video, and if you'd 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: youtu.be/tuRZrto-ZwE
