Well who else are we gonna ask? We are still waiting on Ja Rule

The science of not being a dick was very elaborated on

I work in the ABA field and would also like to know. Especially the view claiming we are encouraging ableism.

I have definitely done more good than harm to this world through my work but of course I hear some ABA horror stories that can be chalked up to what seems like malpractice, the same way any other field has malpractice from their professionals.

Hi this is amazing to me and the type of much needed creativity we need in teaching the kids!

I am a behavioral therapist for children with developmental disabilities.

What other professionals do you coordinate with or would you want to coordinate with. I am sure other occupations can use similar strategies such as speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, etc.

To go along with that, who do you consult with to make sure you are being effective? Like is data taken?

Thank you for all you do.

Thanks for sharing

I really like the part where sometimes his responses are fake but you recognize that sometimes so are yours. Part of being social is just that, conforming ro some social norms and thinking outside yourself.

Other examples we adults do:

• make small talk with coworkers we don’t like just to keep things civil
• in Spanish I know to use the proper “usted” with my seniors, even though I think the whole formal vs informal way of speaking to seniors or anyone older is not something I agree with
• I know to use more manner with my grandparents than with my friends

My thinking is we change our behaviors depending on the situation, settling, and people, all the time so why not afford all kids to do that?
