x-post: ABA mtg: Materials/idea share to increase understanding of ABA

[Guest guest]

Here's something else at ABA2007/San Diego that might be of interest. Pass it

along to others who might be interested.

If you have a good user-friendly ABA brochure, video clips or other things

discussed below, as well as ideas that you think are good at reaching a general

audience, this might be an opportunity to share those and to see what others are

doing in this area. See the description below for details.

Have a great weekend,

A Panel Discussion for Sharing Materials and Ideas for Increasing

Acceptance of ABA Worldwide

Abstract: Although ABA has the data showing effectiveness, parents

continue to pursue fad and controversial treatments. Behavior analysts

need to behave in a way that will result in increased acceptance of

ABA and a scientific skepticism of all therapies. Attendees of this

symposium are asked to bring materials - pamphlets, flyers, brochures,

videoclips, etc. - that can be disseminated to other members of the

audience. These materials will hopefully be customized and given to

pediatricians, parent groups, and other professional agencies, to

begin developing a more positive attitude about ABA and a more

objective evaluation of therapies being proposed for children with autism.
