an interest-based, anti-ABA approach
cultivating connection
building capacity for agency and autonomy through interest-based skill-development
Here’s why ABA disconnects us
from our feelings, wants, & needs:
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) focuses on the external environment and externally observable and measurable behavior. Reinforcement is given when external goals are reached. Prioritizing the external deprioritizes connection to the self.
When we have difficulty figuring out and communicating our feelings, wants, and needs, it can be because we never learned how.
