I don’t know if I find it…interesting? Ironic maybe?…but “back in my day” we used to punish kids who engaged in self-stimulatory (stimming) behavior at the clinic I worked at. Now, 15 years later, and as a BCBA and clinic owner, I made a SENSORY ROOM for our kiddos to take their stimming pleasure up a notch! Because their stimming makes them happy and (selfishly) brings me joy.
So I guess the emotions I’m really feeling is sad that those days happened but grateful that the field of ABA is making strides to better itself and the treatment we provide our kiddos.
