Today's ABA in American Sign Language

B.F. Skinner believed that we could save the world with behaviorism… and so do I.

There are so many issues facing our world and the way we treat people is one of them. The first time I read A Perspective on Today’s ABA from Dr. Hanley, it reminded me of all the good we can do. There are endless opportunities for our learners — whether they’re Deaf, Autistic, Language Deprived or something else. Translating his blog post into ASL was such a pleasure and I hope it serves as an example of what Applied Behavior Analysis can be.

Please note that none of this should be taken as clinical advice and you should refer to a BCBA when implementing behavioral interventions.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who took time out of their day to help me with this project...
