1/11 I’m assuming this is referring to experimental behaviour analysis and not ABA?
Or are we saying that electrocuting people against their will was in line with the Social model?

2/11 Was force feeding people through ABA in line with it?
3/11 How about when it used punishment style interventions to stop people stimming?

I’ve watched the meeting between Irish ABA/PBS lobbies and the Disability matters committee.
The meeting occurred as a response to the committee’s stance against ABA/PBS.
Here’s a summary and my thoughts🪡

1) At 2:14 into the meeting the first practitioner states that “Behavioural analysis is not a therapeutic intervention for autism”.
For the next 90 minutes they spend most of the time talking about behavioural analysis for autism.

2) A lot of things are mentioned about the settings and scenarios where behavioural principles are used.
They don’t talk about how ABA/PBS comes into that.
They’re just saying that behaviour exists as a thing and seem to think they’re making a point.

@PhillyP3351 @autismspeaks “I had to earn it by interrupting less than a certain number of times. I was so excited.
We used my love of figurines to help motivate me to learn and become more conscious of my own interrupting”
That is not motivation, but conditioning. Skinner developed that with lab rats.

@PhillyP3351 @autismspeaks “I’m allowed to wait using ….coping strategies and tools, and even hold small toys in my hand. It is considered a success if I wait a certain amount of time without complaining.”
“Allowed to” self Reg?!?!
Success is making others happy, not how you feel.

Intent is v different than what is important for an autistic adult life.
Why learn from a person supervised by someone trained only in behaviour mod, and not an autistic org? eg

Let’s talk about Why No Autistic Child Should Be in ABA Therapy. I am coming at this from the perspective of a parent whose autistic son is an older teen. Regrets, I have a few. And so we need a thread!

Professionals usually tell parents of newly diagnosed autistic children that it is "critical" to put those children in early intervention therapies like Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). Parents are warned about "missing a developmental window…” 2/
…then urged to place young autistic children in intensive therapy for up to 40 hours per week. We are told that these therapies are justified by decades of research, and that they will save our autistic children by making them "indistinguishable from their peers.” 3/

Did you know ABA has no minimum requirements in the UK
The BCBA can be 4 removed from the person off the street with no experience psychologically manipulating kids as young as 1 for up to 40 hrs. And no one is required to have any autism understanding

Thread proves BCBAs do not need to study #autism or child dev at all
The ABA field in 5 decades have never cared to look into how ABA can harm #autistics
To platform #ABA is irresponsible.
