ABA Debate

What is your perspective on the evolving scrutiny of ABA, specifically regarding recent findings on its negative psychological impacts. While long considered a clinical standard, growing evidence and community testimonials link compliance-based protocols to anxiety and other harmful effects of masking. How do you reconcile traditional behaviour modification with the urgent need for neurodiversity-affirming, child-led care? What’s your view on Floor time and RDI? Are they better alternatives?
