Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a form of therapy commonly administered to children on the autism spectrum. According to Healthline media, ABA is a type of therapy that can improve social, communication, and learning skills through reinforcement strategies.
Many experts consider ABA to be the gold-standard treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or other developmental conditions. It is also considered a controversial form of treatment by some actually autistic self-advocates. it is currently a treatment primarily utilized for children and early adolescents.
In this episode, ABA therapy is explored through a different lens, one that includes people later on in the lifecycle, adults. I speak with Jess Dahl, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who focuses her practice on adults.
We explore her professional journey to where she is today, her own son's autism diagnosis, the controversy surrounding ABA, challenges she sees families and practitioners face in caring for adults on the spectrum who require significant medical and community supports and so much more.
