Proposals will end teaching of ABA, parents claim
Shine, the Irish Progressive Association for Autism, has warned that if the science of Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) is to be effective, it has to be taught to a precise standard which they say will not exist in the Department of Education’s planned mixed model.
Pat McCormack, a Dublin-based parent of a six-year-old girl with autism, said he believes the deal “is nothing short of disaster for our children”.
