While everyone who enters the ABA field does so with the best of intentions, the application of these strategies are sometimes still used to make individuals with autism appear “normal.” At Master ABA we take a different approach. We celebrate all individuals as neurodiverse and teach professionals how to use these techniques to teach critical skills while maintaining the rights of the individual.
Applied Behavior Analysis remains the best way to help those with autism. As professionals in the field, we need to acknowledge and respect those who fear ABA, while helping them understand the benefits of these strategies. Together we can ensure Applied Behavior Analysis is used in a way that is ethical and respectful of the individual. We can be the voice of change and encourage others to follow suit. You can read more in our post Understanding the Debate about ABA.
