While ABA rightfully touts empirical validation, social validity may not always reflect as strongly. One need not go further than Google to find a plethora of harsh criticism against ABA. Such a vocal critic is found in Chloe Everett and her TEDTalk entitled "The Problem with Applied Behavior Analysis" (https://youtu.be/pCqEb0aG7tg). Chloe is a well-spoken young woman who shares her experience as a 'patient' of ABA intervention given her diagnostic experience. In her talk, Chloe gives honest and useful criticism but also lends a number of misconceptions that warrant discussion, correction and ultimately, resolution. In what promises to be the first of many episodes dedicated to criticisms of ABA, we give Chloe the floor first and explore and explain her concerns. Stay tuned for Part II of episdoe 7, where we further explore her criticism and offer solutions for future practice, in addition to our humble corrections of some of the more egregious claims relayed in her talk.
