Thanks for providing these timely updates! I've been sharing them on twitter under the hashtag #4specialeducation, which is the hashtag used by CEC for legislative advocacy and related topics for the CEC community. Thus when one uses that hashtag, one is likely to reach CEC-interested readers with one's post. There are lots of ABA people who post on twitter as well, so I'll be sure to share the disability scoop article with some of the active and influential ABA posters (i.e., Matt Brodhead). The question for me is this: Who speaks for the individuals with autism about their experiences with ABA therapy if those individuals cannot speak for themselves? Parents and other caregivers, I presume. Their experiences deserve to be shared as well. Loud voices from any single group should not dominate the conversation.
