Listen to a bunch of insecure men tell themselves they are relevant while they defend The principals of Autism Partnership’s sordid history hitting kids for hand flapping, among others. It Has to Be Said. No, it doesn’t. You’ve changed names a few times, so let me recommend another one. Daddy Issues: The Podcast

Honest and hard conversations about the world of ABA. A must listen for behavior analysts!

A must listen to for all behavior analysts!

As a future BCBA who is passionate about the community I work for and cares deeply about disabled rights and activism, I found the first part of the series responding to criticism of the field very disappointing. As a field that is founded in science and focuses constantly bettering our methodology, I found a lot of these rants to be centered in an unproductive mentalistic approach to critique that was founded more in the offense that was felt rather than thinking about tangible ways to respond to the criticism in measurable and observable ways. The field is changing for the better as new voices are centered and it is imperative that we, as BCBAs and others who work with populations with disabilities, are not reactionary but take a critical look inward as we determine ways to be better, more ethical, and more empathetic.
