• Empirically Validated Treatment Part II
    Jul 1 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    The terms 'empirically validated' and 'evidence-based' get thrown around a lot, specifically in describing the prospects of any given medically-based treatment. ABA is no stranger to the phrasing and enjoys a prominent place on the list of such treatments--namely the top of the list. This, however, does not mean that treatments without empirical validation may not hold some evidence or use. And to much dismay, empirically validated approaches are not always implemented successfully. In fact, even evidence based approaches can fall short due to human error.

    This is part 2 of this dense and tasty brew, Mike and Dan explore the empirical validation of ABA as well as other treatments deemed 'evidence-based' by most research standards. They also take time to examine what it means to not meet such a standard and those concoctions should be consumed, if at all.

    This is a stout---dark, bold with some hints of sweetness and a long finish. Take this one slow but pour bountifully, and always analyze responsibly.

    Super craft brew for this episode. Dan and Mike take time to interview a parent, Jess, with her own, very unique experience with ASD and ABA intervention. Jess is a sole-provider with two young children, her youngest on the spectrum. She lends her insight and experiences regarding sibling rivalry, managing extended family attitudes about disability and services, as well as making herself available for said services. Jess gives an honest account of her struggles and better yet, provides an encouraging message for parents given her outcomes.

    Sip a nice and easy brew in this episode. Cheers to Jess and all hard-working, dedicated parents. Always analyze responsibly.
