Radio 4 You and Yours covering ABA

I hope it is made clear that ABA is really just data-driven evidence-based practice and should be available to all children, not just those with ASD.

That NT children are subjected to half-baked political and ideological theories of education and somehow manage to get an education is down to their adept social skills which kids with ASD do not have.

It doesn't have to be intense. It doesn't have to be 1:1. But it DOES have to individualised and it DOES have to be about measurable outcomes.

Also I hope it makes it clear that in mainstream schools it costs no more than the 'eclectic' approach and delivers more outcomes per £ than usually mishmash of nurture groups, OT, SALT etc.

I think they've thrown it off in favour of Energy.
