“The science of ABA is rooted in helping those we serve access what is most socially meaningful to them,” notes Rodriguez. “As a field, there are so many providers deeply committed to providing this life changing service with compassion. What we have offered in this manuscript is a set of tenets that could guide our approach to providing compassion-focused services every day. These include a focus on non-contingent positive reinforcement, creating an environment of assent and responsiveness to the preferences, priorities, and engagement levels of the client, and promoting client dignity. We hope that this work inspires and guides today’s behavior analysts in their approach to serving their clients and communities.”
