Being a behaviour analyst for more than 7 years now (wow) - some of the points really speak to the heart.

1. How worth it is it to reduce a problem behaviour at the risk of causing trauma?
2. Compassion is necessary to be effective long term - otherwise you will have cases where kids are mastering goals but crying on the way to sessions.
3. Advocate for the kiddos - it just helps as parents as well to see another side to each skill and behaviour

Shout out to for taking the time to prep this - we hope to have impacted and increased some understanding of compassion and how ABA must include this compassion.

Note to professionals & parents: if our kiddos are crying before therapy / on the way to the session - it’s worth considering what we can change to bring about more compassionate care ❤️

When therapists do CEUS/professional development courses, often the focus is on skill teaching or what to do to have the quickest, most effective progress.

For the months of September & October, our team are exploring the research behind compassionate care in autism & ABA services as a whole. In the past, many ABA services have been criticised for their lack of compassion and we believe, lack of knowledge is a huge contributory factor.

Our lovely ABAT has prepared bits of what research she’s done to share with parents & other professionals. The aim is to spread awareness, improve services & ultimately add more compassion in all that you do!

Stay tuned for further information on the subject ⭐️💙

Today, our team got together for our training on compassion: part 1 ♥️

Our ABAT did an exceptional job presenting on compassion and autism. Mehak, spoke about behaviour analysts behaviour and how to increase compassion & spoke about how to use BST to increase compassion.

Our debate is still on:

Do you think compassion can be taught? How successful have you guys been at increasing compassion in your workplace or home? ⭐️
