i was wrong about ABA
I started ABA working for a massive corporation ran by a private equity firm and honestly saw all the abusive and horrible practices of aba. this company had 75% of their patients there 40hrs a week, patients were getting worse and everyday there was at least one person who was physically injured with no support. not to mention the horrible pay, lack of support, etc. i just started at a new company that primary does school and at home instead of center, there is communication with all other providers, actual bcba support and community support (parental involvement every session). i cannot believe how discouraging and disconnect i felt before, i left work everyday feeling worse than like i actually made a difference and its so insane. im so happy, this company is compassionate, kind, and i never thought this would be possible with how many companies are bought out by private equity firms. it made me so discouraged to the point where i thought aba genuinely did not work, and i was so clearly wrong but i have never been happier to be wrong about anything
