@BylinesScotland This is a seriously misguided move. The debates around ABA and related methods of intervention are dominated by the articulate #autistic people who are able to engage in them. ABA may well not be appropriate for them. But many autistic people like my son are much less capable, sometimes with learning disabilities as well. For them ABA can be a life-saver, but they do not have the articulacy to make the counter-argument.
