Rethink - Unsupervised ABA...

[Guest guest]

A new web-based system has become available…Random

ABA, teach your child how to sit with their hands in their pockets (and other

valuable life-skills)…

This scares me; we have full access to wonderful ABA/VB

therapists, and I get to learn first-hand – and I still don’t get

it right. This model leaves entirely too much room for all kinds of

issues like building on splinter skills, chaining mistakenly behaviors which

should not go together, lack of data collection to understand if the

methodology is working (leading to stress and frustration from both carer and

child), and MANY other issues…I guess it is BAD to take our children to

licensed physicians who use cutting-edge tools to help our children, but

entirely acceptable to embark on a program of ABA without any professional

oversight, training, or guidance beyond random web modules (for which we should

happily pay money)…

I think I will rethink using this website – and conclude

it’s not a great idea…
