Parents—grab your coffee, your notebook, and maybe a stress ball. ☕📝 This week on Pam & The Purple Couch, we’re pulling back the curtain on ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis)—what it is, what it isn’t, and how to spot the difference between quality care and cookie-cutter compliance training.
From real talk about BCBA training to how to know if your child’s provider is the right fit, Pamela and Dr. Manny break down everything in plain, practical, parent-to-parent language (with a side of laughs and “yep, been there” moments).
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ What “Applied,” “Behavior,” and “Analysis” really mean in ABA
✅ The environmental factors that can totally change your child’s behavior
✅ How to tell if your provider is experienced enough for your child’s needs
✅ Why the best practitioners admit when they need help—and why that’s a good thing
💬 Have you had an ABA experience—good or bad—you want to share? Drop it in the comments so other parents can learn from your story.
