It's the worst of times: There are tremendous threats to ABA! There is a growing belief that ABA is a harmful treatment that should be abolished or reformed. It is being likened to sending children to the coal mines! ABA is being viewed as abusive and ineffective. Often this is based upon misinformation and a misunderstanding about ABA. Tragically, however, it is also based upon poor quality treatment that abounds throughout the world. This is not only resulting in reinforcing the notion that ABA is abusive, but poor treatment is simply not effective. Not all ABA is alike! It ranges from rigid and protocol-driven intervention to progressive ABA. It is essential that we fully recognize the threats to our field and make the necessary adaptations. We must understand that poor ABA is a threat to the field and to clients and families we serve. We must be part of the solution!!!
