In this episode of ABA Ultimate Showdown, we debate the motion: "ABA is inherently trauma informed." Debaters Rosalie Prendergast and Saundra Bishop bring their extensive experience disseminating trauma-informed practices worldwide to examine how ABA procedures can align with, support, or fall short of trauma-informed care.

We construct defenses of both sides to provide a comprehensive, balanced view of what it means for ABA to be trauma informed in concept and in day-to-day practice.
