After numerous requests, Soundly Speaking is now proud to offer our clients and their families research-based alternatives to ABA-based behavior management. We do so in accordance with evidence-based, ethical and empathetic practices. Current autism research published within the past three years finds ABA to be both ineffective and harmful. The resources below include the 12-page report, “The Department of Defense Comprehensive Autism Care Demonstration Quarterly Report to Congress Second Quarter 2019,” which determined that “76 percent of TRICARE beneficiaries in the ACD had little to no change in symptom presentation over the course of 12 months of applied behavior analysis (ABA) services, with an additional 9 percent demonstrating worsening symptoms.”
