218 | ABA Pt. 8: The Finale

The end. Fin. The culmination of the miniseries on the controversy around Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) as harmful. This final discussion is what we have been working toward over this entire series: the comparison of ABA to conversion therapy. The argument focuses on stereotypic behaviors and other "quirky" or non-normative behaviors in which non-neurotypical people might engage (not to mention that those neuro-typical people also demonstrate!). This was the most complex issue that we tackled and we are proud to bring you the conclusion of our efforts in this discussion.<br /><br />Links for Today:<br /><br /><a href="https://childmind.org/article/controversy-around-applied-behavior-analysis/" rel="noopener">https://childmind.org/article/controversy-around-applied-behavior-analysis/</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23311908.2019.1641258#" rel="noopener">https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23311908.2019.1641258#</a>:~:text=The%20operant%20conditioning%20and%20compliance,typical%20clients%20would%20never%20pass.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.appliedbehavioranalysisedu.org/what-is-aba/" rel="noopener">https://www.appliedbehavioranalysisedu.org/what-is-aba/</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.inbloomautism.com/post/is-aba-abusive" rel="noopener">https://www.inbloomautism.com/post/is-aba-abusive</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVXckOGvpMs" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVXckOGvpMs</a><br /><br />We are on Reddit! <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/WhyWeDoWhatWeDo" rel="noopener">https://www.reddit.com/user/WhyWeDoWhatWeDo</a> <br /><br />Recommendations<br />Abraham: Everyone is your family (or inner circle)<br />Shane: Southern Biscuits<br /><br />You can reach us directly at 775.525.0908, at <a href="mailto:info@wwdwwdpodcast.com">info@wwdwwdpodcast.com</a>, through the comments below OR on social via @wwdwwdpodcast or #wwdwwdpodcast.
