RAW-tism

This episode of RAW-tism is about the infamous history of Applied Behavior Analysis and how it’s been improved over time. Remembering the history is important because if we don’t acknowledge where something started, we can’t talk responsibly about where it’s going. 

Generalization: Why Schools Need to Allow ABA Therapy

This episode of RAW-tism is about Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services — specifically why having ABA support both at school and at home is so important for autistic kids, and why separating those supports often does more harm than good.

This episode is not about defending bad practices. It’s not about pretending ABA has a perfect history. And it’s definitely not about turning kids into robots. This is about ethical, child-centered behavioral intervention, and what happens when support actually follows a child through their real life. 

This episode of RAW-tism is about something schools argue about constantly — often without realizing what they’re actually arguing about: comfort. This episode is for teachers, parents, administrators, and anyone who has ever thought that a kid was too old for their comfort items.
