Response to Last Anon
 

Breakdown of last response:

I disagree to add QABA.

The BCBA helps make sure that BCBA's, BCaBA's, and RBT's are practicing within their scope and that they are providing ethical services to their clients. - If this statement is true, why does the BACB continue to allow certified members who shock and electrocyte children with Autism.

ABA has a bad rap from the past and with the help of the BACB it is helping change the way people look at ABA therapy. - Really? Again, shocking minor children. If that is the change you want then you would literally be a sadist.

We need to continue to on providing ethical practices of ABA with clear guidelines and qualifications for everyone that is practicing ABA. - Thank you for making me laugh today. The BACB has no idea what ethics are. They literally certify people who shock children.
