This course presents a perspective that is rare but critically important in behavior analytic discourse: the firsthand experience of an ABA supervisor who received ABA services as a child and now provides those services as a professional. Moderated by Arianna Esposito, a BCBA, this panel discussion bridges the gap between the consumer and provider perspectives in a way that has profound implications for how the field conceptualizes and delivers services.
