| These presentations review the difference between evidence-based practices, pseudoscience, and anti-science. They describe the hallmarks of scientific approaches, such as direct observation and repeated testing, and contrast them with 'fad' therapies that promise quick success without data. Examples of popular treatments are listed, including both ABA-based methods and alternative therapies. Parents are encouraged to ask key questions before committing to any treatment, such as whether research exists, how progress will be measured, and what risks may be involved. |
