Petition Ban Applied Behaviour Analysis Therapy designed to reduce Autistic Stimming
The Government should ban Applied Behaviour Analysis Therapy (“ABA”), for the purpose of reducing soothing “stimming” behaviours in people with autism spectrum disorder.
More details
Reports indicate that people with autism spectrum disorder call ABA therapy “abusive” or “traumatic” and some may have c-PTSD as a result.
Furthermore, research from the US Department of Defence concluded that ABA is not significantly improving outcomes.
