Applied behavior analysis does not operate in isolation from the broader social, political, and economic forces that shape how autism is understood, funded, and served. The perspectives of leaders from business, policy, and advocacy communities on ABA and progressive approaches to autism intervention provide behavior analysts with a window into how their work is perceived, valued, and challenged by voices outside the clinical literature.
