A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Dont You Think Its Kinda Odd That A.b.a Instructors Cant Be In Public For Services?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

how double standard is the fact that a.b.a providers cant be seen in public doing there therapy , why not its considered child abuse? wth is wrong here?

A MyAutismTeam Member

That does sound like it is specific to your provider. We also have community outings. Our ABA therapist spends as much time out of the office for visits than in the office.
