The opposition to ABA, however, is not only a political issue, but also one of ethics and of science. ABA supporters love to claim how it is based in science, facts, and peer review. Nothing could be further from the truth. As early as 1959 Professor Noam Chomsky tore apart the entire premise of the “science” behind ABA. I recently came across this blog post about the theoretical roots of ABA and Professor Chomsky’s rebuttal of them which I found interesting.
