It's nice to see it reported on, I've seen kids get pulled out of public school to go to these for-profit therapy places and I mentioned it to my boss recently and he didn't believe me.
I've seen ABA clinics convince parents not to send their children to public school until 1st or 2nd grade and that transition is so much harder when a child is used to 1:1 adult support at all times.

Omg this article just gets worse and worse. Not even to mention the fact that ABA has a lot of criticism as being harmful and traumatic.

I decided against ABA for my child who is on the spectrum largely because our local center required he attend at least 30 hours a week.
