Hi .@learnmeaba
You are an ABA provider.
Why did you follow me?
Maybe consider checking out #SayNoToABA
or my article where I show that ABA causes trauma, and is -at the very least- ineffective here -

You can't support autistic people and be pro-ABA.

You cannot pretend to listen to autistic people when you obtain money for specifically hurting and traumatizing autistic people.
Maybe see my thread from 3 days ago?
Would you do this to a non-autistic child?

And if you are an "ABA provider" that does not do ABA therapy but are advertising it as such -
Then stop advertising as ABA if that's what you're doing.
I wish I could believe that's what these centers are doing but I have a feeling they really are doing ABA.

Their website is in fact, very sneaky.
One page about haircuts they talk about giving kids earbuds with sound for loud noises, and weighted blankets. Sounds good, right?
And then under ABA say this (Image):

Their website says this:
"We also target sensory issues such as loud noises, bright lights, and different textures, and work on building tolerances through daily exposure so when these situations arise, they won’t be an issue in regular life."
That entire sentence is a red flag

This is why we must #SayNoToABA . This is why #ABAIsAbuse .
Going to quote my own article here -
"Would you ever reward a child for putting their hand on a hot stove?
After you answer 'no' to that question, would you consider that situation abusive?"

They constantly use the word "science" on their website.
Well, that's NOT the science of sensory sensitivities in autistic people. Not one bit.
Stop hurting autistic people by rewarding pain.

Quote from researchers (also in my article) -
"A lifetime of being punished for certain movements, and being forced to engage in eye contact despite the physiological pain and discomfort of doing so, is psychological and physical abuse.“ - Sandoval-Norton and Shkedy 2019
