ABA is abuse... right? [CC]

My original ABA video -    • Thoughts On ABA (Applied Behavioral Analys...  

Note: This video is several years old. Disability conversations and scientific information are constantly evolving, so older videos may contain information or thoughts that have been reevaluated since their original posting date (and/or may have been outdated at the time and I still had things to learn). I am slowly working to re-make older somewhat out-of-date videos, this may be one of them, but please watch with this in mind!
Also please note that I made this pre-transition, I use they/them pronouns now :)
