MODERATORS
Did you even bother to read your own links? The first one has no physicians and doesn’t need a referral by one, they said ABA is given by “Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and highly trained Behavior Therapist (BT) or Registered Behavior Technician (RBT).” Those aren’t doctors.
Once again, your anger is misplaced; I never said ABA doesn’t exist but I said you don’t see licensed physicians referring people to it. Go back and read again since you must have missed that in your anger. You’re insisting on a Google search without understanding what you’re looking at. HIPAA is not an excuse when the therapies are publicly advertised, and you have failed to prove your claims. Have a nice day.
