Completely unempathic. Early horrible abusive dog training under the name of "Science."

It's amazing how difficult teaching was before prompt and prompt fading and errorless learning came about.

Oh for gracious sakes! That "therapist" reminds me of Gordon Ramsey of "Hell's Kitchen"! The way they just yell at the kids like that, I see it as no different than the way Ramsey yells at the contestants on his show.

@jennataylor2 if Lovaas' claims that after ABA 47% of children with autism end up 'indistinguishable' from their peers, why is there still such high demand for school age and adult services? hmm...
by the way, children are NOT 'autistic'. They are people with autism, there is a difference and maybe YOU should be the one getting an education.

As an advocate for ABA (please keep the safety on, those of you brandishing guns), I have to say these videos reflect the limited knowledge we had about learning and teaching at the time. These tapes are not a true reflection of what ABA looks like today and to suggest that is just scare mongering.

The children just learn to imitate, but not the understanding in their behavior.
Some autistic friends of mine (I'm autistic myself) learnd also in their childhood with different methots to behave like everyone else without understanding the meaning in it. Alot got depressev and they wherend able to handle their lifes better, it even harmed them in a way, because they never learned to understand the meaning in their behavior.
