The Anti-ABA Campaign is an advocacy and awareness initiative that critically examines Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and its impact on neurodivergent people, particularly autistic individuals. While ABA is often promoted as a standard, evidence-based, and necessary form of support, many autistic people and advocates have shared lived experiences that raise serious ethical concerns about its methods and long-term effects.
Harmful practices can persist when they become normalized, institutionalized, and rarely questioned in public discussions. This campaign centers the voices and experiences of neurodivergent individuals, challenges dominant narratives around behavioral intervention, and creates space for open, informed dialogue about ethics, consent, autonomy, and wellbeing. It is designed for use in advocacy work, education and training, policy discussions, and broader community conversations about neurodiversity and support practices.
