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 ❤️
