I work in ABA -- Applied Behavioral Analysis as an RBT (Registered Behavioral Technician) AMA!

I work in ABA therapy as an RBT. I know a lot of people have very mixed opinions about the field, and I want to clear up any questions you guys may have. There are a lot of people who have suffered greatly at the expense of terrible BCBAs (Board Certified Behavior Analysts) and RBTs, and my heart goes out to them. With that in mind, I want to explain how, as a neurodivergent person myself, I take the steps to provide care that supports my clients and validates their feelings, sensory sensitives, and identities.

I've worked with a range of patients -- high functioning and low functioning, so feel free to ask about things across the spectrum!
