@TheBellaroma Also, tell me what a lowly 911 dispatcher living in Alameda County would even know about shock treatment and the killing of disabled students in Eastern Massachusetts.

@TheBellaroma While your talking to Israel, ask him why his employees seem to routinely abuse his inmates in the backyard of his group homes spread throughout the eastern Ma. area. Ask him why they hit them on the head, call them retarded and stomp on their heads. Ask him why neighbors told me this all happens.

@TheBellaroma Since you have access to Israel, why he is perpetuating a fraud with his artwork and facilities. He takes the adults and kids out into the employee parking lot, behind a chain link fence and gives them 2 balloons to play with and that is all, all for 80 kids/adults. Ask him why he is doing this. Ask him is it typical that his inmates only can play in the employee parking lot and the $100,000 swing set and other props worth millions are there for propaganda.

@TheBellaroma In the death of Vincent milletich, Skinner was quoted by the ny times as a supporter of negative punishment and what Israel did to Vincent. Skinner being against punishment is a carefully constructed misrepresentation. I think you need to rely on sources other than a torturer and a man convicted of negligence in the death of his disabled students.

christschool, The story conveyed to you by James Partingotn is not true. Contact Matt Israel through the ABAI portal yourself. Skinner was ant-punishment. How selfish of James Partington to tell you such a lie in order to make himself look like a hero at the expense of Skinner's reputation and the work of hunderds of behavior analysts. No wonder Sundberg, Osnes, Powers and other behavior analysts who worked with him want nothing to do with him now.

[Gorteenminogue]

Very interesting.

B.F. Skinner also supported Matthew Israel's techniques that led to the death of Vincent Milletich. According to reports of a private conversation with Jim Partington, who was employed by Israel's original Behaviorial Research Instititue, Skinner was the one advising Israel on punishments that would eventually lead to the death of Milletich. Partington was reported to have quit due to lack of a Human Rights counsel at BRI.

Thanks for this review.

A question: what is the main difference between Me Book and Autistic Child by Lovaas? Is the second one more focused on language development? I also think it would be helpful to add the list of the reviewed books into the description.

What confuses me is why some parents are so anti-ABA...? If your child is NT or Autistic, either way, you still teach your child. If you have to do it in a different way, say for a child with autism, what is the big deal? None of our babies came out speaking and feeding themselves.. So why do people throw a fit when parents use ABA to teach their child to speak, dress, eat, or whatever.?

It's confusing to my why people get so upset.

Great video.
