| Résumé : |
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) interventions are commonly used to teach autistic learners a variety of skills. When examining the perceptions of ABA goals and procedures, most autistic learners have reported positive or neutral perceptions of ABA, but some individuals have also expressed negative perceptions of goals that reduce or eliminate autistic traits and procedures that use extinction. This study assessed predictors of perceptions of ABA goals and procedures from self-reported autistic individuals who received ABA. Using a stratified sampling approach, 178 autistic participants aged nine and older completed a 36-question survey. The results indicated that gender identity, affiliation with an autism self-advocacy group, the setting of services, and when they received ABA influenced perceptions. There was consensus across all respondents that ABA goals eliminated autism traits, there was limited input from the autistic learners on goals, the therapist made them follow instructions, and the participants indicated that they were allowed to have things they needed. Furthermore, individuals who were sampled from ABA organizations and those who received ABA less than six years ago had favorable perceptions of ABA. These findings highlight the need to involve autistic voices in the development of treatment goals but also indicate that many of the critiques of ABA are not held by most in the autism community. |
