Autism and ABA: A Parental Experience matters because it changes what a BCBA notices when decisions have to hold up in clinic sessions and day-to-day service delivery. In A Parental Experience, for this course, the practical stakes show up in better alignment between intervention and the family context in which it must survive, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →For over 50 years, intervention methods informed by the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) have been empirically researched and clinically implemented with autistics/individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Within this research and clinical practice, parents/caregivers have been an essential part of intervention. They are often required to seek quality services, secure funding, recruit staff, and help oversee their child's program - all on top of being a parent. The purpose of this panel is to provide an outlet for the members of the panel to (a) provide their perspective on being a parent of a child diagnosed with ASD, (b) provide their perspective on behavioral intervention, (c) provide their perspective on anti-ABA sentiments, and (d) suggest ways that behavior analysts can improve their clinical practice.
