Top ABA Programs in Toronto: Bright Balloons Leads

Discover why Bright Balloons is leading the way in Applied Behavior Analysis programs in Toronto, providing unparalleled support and resources for children with autism.

What is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)?

Applied Behavior Analysis is a scientific approach to understanding behavior and how it is affected by the environment. It is commonly used to help individuals with autism develop essential life skills through positive reinforcement techniques. ABA focuses on improving specific behaviors such as social skills, communication, reading, and adaptive learning skills.

ABA therapy is highly individualized, meaning that each program is tailored to meet the unique needs of the person receiving treatment. This personalized approach makes ABA one of the most effective methods for helping individuals with autism achieve their full potential.

Why Choose ABA Therapy for Autism?

ABA therapy is widely recognized as a highly effective treatment for individuals with autism. One of the main reasons to choose ABA is its evidence-based approach, which has been proven to improve communication, social skills, and academic performance in individuals with autism. Research shows that early intervention with ABA can lead to significant long-term benefits.

Another reason to choose ABA therapy is its focus on positive reinforcement. By rewarding desired behaviors, ABA helps individuals learn new skills and reduce problematic behaviors in a supportive and encouraging environment. This method not only helps individuals with autism but also supports families in creating a positive and structured home environment.

Tuesday April 11.

Autism Acceptance Month.

Today is Tuesday, April 11, which means we are eleven days into the 30 blessed days of #autism acceptance month, 2023 (previously known as #autism awareness month). April is the month and April 2nd is the day—World Autism Day, to be precise—and these first weeks of spring are a time for uplifting autistic voices of all identities, advocating for acceptance, progress, and sharing in the community's joy. It began back in 1972, as National Autistic Children’s Week, and was founded by The Autism Society to raise awareness and campaign for change in communities, schools, medical facilities, and businesses. And this same vital, wonderful work continues today, and not just for the month of April, of course—but every day of every year. The lived reality is that every day of every month is Autism Acceptance Month, and it is on all of us to do better.

Progress has been made, but there is still so much to be done in the struggle for equality and justice for all those living under the broad church of autism. And if these words sound hollow, then simply read the moving story of Debra Vines, of The Answer Inc., and of her autistic son Jason. She articulates everyday struggles that families can face, and the many joys they experience, too. Her message is simple, but powerful: don't give up on milestones.  

Want to know more, get involved, or donate? Here is just some of an impressive selection of charities sourced by the fine people at the Applied Behavior Analysis Programs Guide, where you can find the complete list of 20 charities and organizations:

Happy Tuesday, folks, and here's to better.

"The majority of high-tech patent lawsuits are brought by patent trolls—companies that exist not to provide products or services, but primarily have a business using patents to threaten others’ work. Some politicians are proposing to make that bad situation worse. ...

The Patent Eligibility Restoration Act, S. 2140, (PERA), sponsored by Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Chris Coons (D-DE) would be a huge gift to patent trolls, a few tech firms that aggressively license patents, and patent lawyers. For everyone else, it will be a huge loss. That’s why we’re opposing it, and asking our supporters to speak out as well. 

Patent trolling is still a huge, multi-billion dollar problem that’s especially painful for small businesses and everyday internet users. But, in the last decade, we’ve made modest progress placing limits on patent trolling. The Supreme Court’s 2014 decision in Alice v. CLS Bank barred patents that were nothing more than abstract ideas with computer jargon added in. Using the Alice test, federal courts have kicked out a rogue’s gallery of hundreds of the worst patents. 

Under Alice’s clear rules, courts threw out ridiculous patents on “matchmaking”, online picture menus, scavenger hunts, and online photo contests. The nation’s top patent court, the Federal Circuit, actually approved a patent on watching an ad online twice before the Alice rules finally made it clear that patents like that cannot be allowed. The patents on “bingo on a computer?” Gone under Alice. Patents on loyalty programs (on a computer)? Gone. Patents on upselling (with a computer)? All gone. ...

PERA’s attempt to roll back progress goes beyond computer technology. For almost 30 years, some biotech and pharmaceutical companies actually applied for, and were granted, patents on naturally occuring human genes. As a consequence, companies were able to monopolize diagnostic tests that relied on naturally occurring genes in order to help predict diseases such as breast cancer, making such testing far more expensive. The ACLU teamed up with doctors to confront this horrific practice, and sued. That lawsuit led to a historic victory in 2013 when the Supreme Court disallowed patents on human genes found in nature. 

If PERA passes, it will explicitly overturn that ruling, allowing human genes to be patented once again. ...

“To See Your Own Blood, Your Own Genes”

From the 1980s until the 2013 Myriad decision, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted patents on human genomic sequences. If researchers “isolated” the gene—a necessary part of analysis—they would then get a patent that described isolating, or purified, as a human process, and insist they weren’t getting a patent on the natural world itself.

But this concept of patenting an “isolated” gene was simply a word game, and a distinction without a difference. With the genetic patent in hand, the patent-holder could demand royalty payments from any kind of test or treatment involving that gene. And that’s exactly what Myriad Genetic did when they patented the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene sequences, which are important indicators for the prevalence of breast or ovarian cancer. 

Myriad’s patents significantly increased the cost of those tests to U.S. patients. The company even sent some doctors cease and desist letters, saying the doctors could not perform simple tests on their own patients—even looking at the gene sequences without Myriad’s permission would constitute patent infringement. 

This behavior caused pathologists, scientists, and patients to band together with ACLU lawyers and challenge Myriad’s patents. They litigated all the way to the Supreme Court, and won. “A naturally occurring DNA segment is a product of nature and not patent eligible merely because it has been isolated,” the Supreme Court stated in Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics. 

A practice like granting and enforcing patents on human genes should truly be left in the dustbin of history. It’s shocking that pro-patent lobbyists have convinced these Senators to introduce legislation seeking to reinstate such patents. Last month, the President of the College of American Pathologists published an op-ed reminding lawmakers and the public about the danger of patenting the human genome, calling gene patents “dangerous to the public welfare.”  

As Lisbeth Ceriani, a breast cancer survivor and a plaintiff in the Myriad case said, “It’s a basic human right to see your own blood, your own genes.” "

It kind of sucks that after 8 years, the best thing that Izuku could think to do with his life and experience studying to be a hero is teaching.

This is NOT a diss at teachers- they are literally the backbone of our society. And we all love Aizawa and everything he brings to the series, but Izuku's character isn't written like Aizawa's. He's never really shown to be someone drawn to teaching. There isn't any foreshadowing for this in his character.

Some might say "but 'children are our future' is a huge theme of mha", and it is, but not for Izuku. The point of Izuku's character is one of a student, not a teacher. It's literally called My Hero ACADEMIA. He is the youth. He is the future. We even see him walk into the school as an adult with a backpack, not a briefcase, because he's always going to be a student. He's a lifelong learner.

He's our walking, muttering, quirk-encyklopedia boy. And while being knowledgeable and studious are certainly qualities that could be found in a good teacher, Izuku has shown to have these behaviors less for a "having the knowledge to pass it on" sake, but more for his own desire to expand on them. Izuku is a natural researcher.

Teachers look backwards so their students can look to the future. As a quirk researcher, Izuku could have been working directly with his friends in the field, constantly recording stats and finding new and safe ways to push his friends' powers further than ever before. He could have been applying his talents in quirk analysis while addressing the quirk-singularity theory, actively finding solutions to help the future generations and the up-and-coming heros of now. And if for some reason he HAD to get a job working with kids, he could have been working as a quirk councler alongside Uraraka in one of her programs (where he could have been an amazing role model to younger children who might not know many quirkless individuals!). And I'm not a shipper, but that could have at least been a nod at how his and Uraraka's relationship developed beyond school.

He could have been working with his friends. He didn't have to be lonely, caged in the walls of UA. It kind of feels like he gave up, and that sucks knowing that that's not the Izuku we met at the start of the series (in a sad regression of character kind of way).

When All Might told Izuku he couldn't be a hero because he was quirkless, he walked home crying to himself because he wanted to follow the advice of his idol, but couldn't. He begged and tried to reason with himself to face reality, and struggled because he couldn't go against his own heart. This Izuku feels broken, like he gave up that unreasonable part of his heart, and it feels wrong to end the series on that note when that part of him was what was emphasized as what made him a hero to begin with.

Granted, it's already established that teaching was not the end-all-be-all for Izuku, and he gets to be a hero in the end, but as sweet as it is that Bakugou and his friends pitched in to help make that dream come true, it could have been all the more meaningful if he played a role in continuing to chase that dream by working in the field any way he could too, instead of waiting around to literally be handed the opportunity again.

If programming isn’t real then what happened to me. If programming isn’t real why do I have the conditioned responses due to what happened. If programming isn’t real then why am I the way I am. There’s literally no other explanation.

Basically every alleged symptom of the DID programming process described by the likes of Fritz Springmeier and Cisco Wheeler is a likely symptom of something else. Many are potential symptoms of other abuses, including corporal punishment, psychological and emotional manipulation, emotional neglect, and the like. These types of abuses have can have far more profound impacts than many of us realize, especially if we grow up in an environment where they're normalized or where adults assure us that they don't count as "real" abuse.

If anything, the DID alter programming myth functions as a way to scapegoat the trauma from being raised in environments like this onto secret cults of devil worshipers so these kinds of people can go on pretending their own childrearing methods aren't inherently abusive.

Now what I'm going to talk about next, I'm not saying that it necessarily applies to you, but I also can't rule it out, and I figure it's good to mention it in a general sense.

At least some of the alleged symptoms of DID programming are symptoms of growing up autistic in a world that hates autistic people. (I'm not saying that you're necessarily autistic, but I can't rule it out, either.) Many autistic people are put through a cruel conditioning process called applied behavior analysis, which is supposed to make them act like allistic people. Autistic people who can't pretend they're allistic are often shunned and bullied, and develop people-pleasing habits as a consequence. This type of conditioning was never carried out on purpose, and yet it was very much carried out.

We can also internalize shitty things people say both to and around us. (Like adults calling certain types of people worthless and undeserving - but whoops, turns out you're one of those kinds of people.) We can also pick up on implicit messages in media that aren't good for our self-worth (like when a trait you have is overwhelmingly depicted in villains, or when people like you are never depicted as attractive). This can impact us in numerous ways, including exacerbating people-pleasing tendencies.

This thread over here mentions some sources of trauma that are often overlooked.

Editing to add in case this post gets reblogged: This anon chimed in with some excellent points, too.

I think it's a safe guess that your life sucked, and that you were not treated well. One way or another, you were hurt very badly, and you did not get the care or comfort you deserved. But saying that your trauma symptoms can only be explained by the alter programming conspiracy theory is like saying the weather patterns of the Little Ice Age could only be explained by witches. Conspiracy theories appear to explain things, but what they're actually doing is offering false explanations in order to further bigger narratives that target a lot of innocent people.

For more information on the origins of the alter programming conspiracy theory, and how we KNOW it's a conspiracy theory, see this post.

I hope that university psych departments become less ableist within my lifetime.

I hope that within the next few decades, Applied Behavior Analysis programs struggle to stay open, because university students know better than to go into that field.

I hope that someday, doing autism research without consulting autistic people will be seen as a bad career move. That autism researchers who don't involve the autistic community in a meaningful way won't be respected by their colleagues, and will have a very hard time getting such research funded.

I want to see anti-ableism become part of the culture of any decent psychology or education department. Because today, the opposite is often true.

Recovery is a term used to describe the phase in which an addict chooses to begin discarding addictive behavior in favor of previous nonaddicted behavior, for example, "I'm a recovering alcoholic" or "I'm in recovery from cocaine addiction." Now we find recovery being applied to codependency, such as "I'm in recovery from codependency." Many regard codependency as an addiction, in the same category as substance addiction, and the process by which we move into and out of it the same. Once again, my feminist self squirmed in discomfort. I felt recovery was somehow inappropriate when applied to codependency.

I resisted this discomfort. I enjoyed claiming the power of recovery; the word felt active, exciting, vital, moving out of the numbness of codependency's robotitude. In terms of physical addiction to a substance, recovery is accurate: To reclaim a healthier way of being, the addict decides to go back to a time when she or he was not addicted to the substance. But applied to codependency, the message is mixed. To say that recovery from codependency is possible implies that we can return to a previous time in our lives when we were healthier, when we related to our loved ones differently. It implies that there was a moment when something happened—we changed, we fell in with a bad crowd, or we took up bad ways—but now we are recovering what we lost. I suggest this is impossible.

Recovery from codependency is a myth. We cannot recover what we have never had. When we redefine codependency as internalized oppression, we see that as women we are conditioned to accept and practice our subordinate position from the moment we are born. As Subby has determined, the typical family system thoroughly trains us in this behavior. Born into patriarchy, we are groomed into codependency from the beginning of our lives. There was never a time that I was not codependent. To say I am "in recovery" is inaccurate, can lead to self-blame, and distracts me from noticing the influence of the culture of dominance. Here lies the danger to women of unscrutinized acceptance of the popular approach to codependency.

If I believe that challenging codependency is solely a matter of recovery, then I ignore the political context of oppression in which I live. I accept full responsibility, viewing codependency as an individual character disorder, something wrong with me personally. As such, appropriate treatment would be therapy, Twelve-Step programs, or at the very least a slew of self-help books. I will fix myself, "recover" my "sobriety," and then I will be capable of healthy intimacy. But when I try to "recover" from codependency, there is nowhere to go. Every road out leads back to codependency because my focus is limited to my personal inadequacy and does not include the culture that designs, maintains, rewards, and benefits from codependent behavior. With all due respect to the Twelve-Step programs of AA, these groups do little to develop a critical consciousness of the society that nurtures substance addiction and other forms of oppression. If I attempt to "recover" from codependency without this analysis, the oppressor remains invisible, my oppression a misnamed affliction, and I stay in a cul-de-sac of self-blame. Who does this benefit?

News Article Analysis (Q!Jaiden theory)

Since the News Article was posted, there has been a lot of speculation on the title of Q!Jaidens section. The “When I don’t remember you…” sentence could have been a direct reference to the Adventure Time song “Remember You.”.

A first look at it made many think that it was Q!Jaiden or Cucurucho saying this line, and it could be a link to the CaretakerJaiden theory or the Project BlueBird theory. I personally think it could be interpreted either way and it could help hint at the possible lore to come for Q!Jaiden.

 If we are taking the PBB theory route for this song, then the line “When I don’t remember you” could go for both Cucurucho and Jaiden, but more so for Cucurucho. Cucurucho was theorized to be rebooted and often times would lose their memories of events on numerous occasions. Knowing there are two Cucurchos, we could guess that the Cucurucho that is fond of Jaiden was reset whenever an imperfection would occur in order to avoid him becoming more like Osito Bimbo (the silly Cucurucho). I think that Osito Bimbo was a sort of failed Cucurucho that would only carry out minimal tasks as a test of their behavior. (Ex. BBH’s question.)

The line “forgive me for whatever I do... when I don’t remember you.” can be interpreted as Cucurcho's fear of hurting Jaiden due to the programming or orders given to him by the Federation. If we take into account Cucurchos’s words, “Years ago you helped us. Me.” We know that Jaiden had some part in helping Cucurucho, whether directly or indirectly. In the Federation's eyes, life is expandable and can be replaced or perfected. By meeting Jaiden, Cucurchos may have developed a better understanding of the importance of life. He developed emotions that the Federation had not warranted but allowed because they ended up making him “perfect”. If we read throughout the lyrics of Remember You in the mindset of Cucurucho saying this, things start to click a bit for the PBB theory. He was a caretaker/teacher and was scared to hurt the person who brought him happiness in the bleak walls of the Federation. 

—

If we read the title as a hint at the Caretaker Jaiden theory, then the roles would be reversed, but with a twist added in. 

In the CJ theory, Jaiden was the one who created the Cucurucho worker(s) and helped shape them into the perfect workers the Federation wants. A small thing I saw floating around was that in attempts to create more Cucurucho’s workers, the Federation created the code, then promptly neglected or lost it. It is an interesting thing to note. 

If we look at the title, “When I don’t remember you...” It is a bittersweet sentence that links to Jaiden's memory loss. She doesn’t remember working with or for the Federation at any time before the island. She also doesn’t remember creating the Cucurucho’s before the island either, yet she is still fond of both of them because they were the creations that she worked on. 

Then, if we look into Cucurucho's words, “Years ago you helped us. Me”. It could have a hidden meaning in that Cucurucho was finally perfected in some way by Jaiden. She could have helped him get better in the past, and that is why he didn’t turn out in a chair like Osito Bimbo. 

Final thoughts: 

Either way, this title could hint at any of the theories. It is assumed that Jaiden will help “correct” Osito Bimbo’s behavior or potentially (and this is a stretch) fix the code. She helped the Federation YEARS ago. And while the theory of time going quicker hangs around, I don’t think it applies in this case. The years ago implies that she was once a worker similar to Cucurcho or Walter Bob (if not higher up), and she did more than just tasks. She helped Cucurucho, but with what will be unclear until the next stream. 

With that said, let’s all add another day of people not realizing Jaiden is in the Federation building. ;-; (No, she was not kidnapped; she went willingly but also cautiously. I will take criticism on anything else I’ve said besides this lol) 

Anyway, thank you for reading!!

It's still "Beware of Autism $peaks" month.

So it feels like a great time to share a link to this video, that I watched on Saturday, 8 April, 2023:

You're wrong about Autistic Emotions

It's almost an hour long, and there's eye contact throughout, which is why I'm linking to it, rather than inserting it as an embed. But it's also got proper closed captions (which means you can copy-paste the transcript into a text program, if you need to).

The YouTuber who made the video is on the spectrum, and it opens with this:

I want to talk about faces and it's going to get emotional.

Inability to properly understand and use facial expressions is a well-known trait of autism and this difficulty in reading emotions from faces has been used to support bad ideas.

Like the idea that autistic people are unempathetic, cold or even duplicitous. But what if autistic people aren't the only ones who can't read emotions from facial expressions?

What if nobody can and it's just that we're the only ones self-aware enough to realize it? Keep watching to find out why you're deluding yourself!

She goes into the history of different ideas about whether facial expressions are universal or not, how the pseudoscience of "micro-expressions" are used by I.C.E. and the C.I.A. to profile asylum seekers at the U.S. border, and the connection between Applied Behavioral Analysis, used against autistic children, and "Gay Conversion Therapy" along the way.

So I think this could be a valuable resource for many intersecting groups interested in social justice,

Content warning for discussions of racism, colonialism, queerphobia, child abuse, and reference to the Amber Heard/Johnny Depp trial.

[tuberculocusts]

In that post about dimension 20's transmisogyny you mention Hank Green at the end and i was wondering if maybe you can elaborate on that a bit?? I tried searching around a bit but the only thing i can really find is him talking about medical misinformation :<

ok i will preface this by saying that i was being somewhat intetionally provocative because, divorced from any explicit wrongdoings on his part, I personally find him fucking insufferable. as someone studying in a stem field i find his scientific communication overconfident and at times alarmingly uncurious, and his progressive posturing and “harmless white boy” schtick leave a bad taste in my mouth.

So to be clear i am biased here by the fact that i think the guy’s fucking cringe.

The “child torture” i was referring to was his (scishow’s) advocacy for ABA (applied behavioral analysis), a treatment program for ASD which encourages (or more accurately demands) near constant masking from autistic children, in the interest of parents wanting a more “normal child.” there is a wealth of research showing this to be enormously harmful, and the premise of “treating” autism by enforcing “normal behavior” is outright eugenicist in premise. looking through the comments of that video alone, you’ll see dozens of people remarking that ABA is deeply dangerous and epistemically problematic, not to mention that the guy who created it apparently initially used it as a form of, i shit you not, conversion therapy.

Now, Hank does criticize ABA, mentioning that it *used to* use techniques like shocks or immobilization— that is to say literal physical abuse and assault, and even goes so far as to say that *some people* subjected to it found it unpleasant or dehumanizing, but he brushes over these criticisms incredibly quickly and continues to espouse its virtues, implying that he’s clearly not all that opposed to it. He mentions nothing about its relationship to masking and despite mentioning outright that the correlation between “positive” results and time in therapy is inconsistent, doesn’t think to attribute this to a fundamentally flawed methodology. Most importantly i think, he also fails to question or define what exactly ABA considers “improvement,” the only example of “negative behavior” he cites being “banging your head against a wall,” and that does not, based on the reactions of the autistics and even medical professionals in his audience, seem to be where its definition of “negative” ends.

The result is that the latter portion of an otherwise palatable (mostly — it treats IQ as a real and valid scientific metric, but I digress) video goes something like: “while Some People don’t like being bullied, demeaned, and forced to mask by medical professionals, as long as you sign ‘em up young enough, your little freak-ass kid won’t be weird long enough to know any better”

TLDR; he barely criticizes and tacitly advocates for harmful and at times outright abusive therapeutic practices for autistic children in the interest of making them “more normal”

What Are the Qualifications for a Data Scientist?

In today's data-driven world, the role of a data scientist has become one of the most coveted career paths. With businesses relying on data for decision-making, understanding customer behavior, and improving products, the demand for skilled professionals who can analyze, interpret, and extract value from data is at an all-time high. If you're wondering what qualifications are needed to become a successful data scientist, how DataCouncil can help you get there, and why a data science course in Pune is a great option, this blog has the answers.

The Key Qualifications for a Data Scientist

To succeed as a data scientist, a mix of technical skills, education, and hands-on experience is essential. Here are the core qualifications required:

1. Educational Background

A strong foundation in mathematics, statistics, or computer science is typically expected. Most data scientists hold at least a bachelor’s degree in one of these fields, with many pursuing higher education such as a master's or a Ph.D. A data science course in Pune with DataCouncil can bridge this gap, offering the academic and practical knowledge required for a strong start in the industry.

2. Proficiency in Programming Languages

Programming is at the heart of data science. You need to be comfortable with languages like Python, R, and SQL, which are widely used for data analysis, machine learning, and database management. A comprehensive data science course in Pune will teach these programming skills from scratch, ensuring you become proficient in coding for data science tasks.

3. Understanding of Machine Learning

Data scientists must have a solid grasp of machine learning techniques and algorithms such as regression, clustering, and decision trees. By enrolling in a DataCouncil course, you'll learn how to implement machine learning models to analyze data and make predictions, an essential qualification for landing a data science job.

4. Data Wrangling Skills

Raw data is often messy and unstructured, and a good data scientist needs to be adept at cleaning and processing data before it can be analyzed. DataCouncil's data science course in Pune includes practical training in tools like Pandas and Numpy for effective data wrangling, helping you develop a strong skill set in this critical area.

5. Statistical Knowledge

Statistical analysis forms the backbone of data science. Knowledge of probability, hypothesis testing, and statistical modeling allows data scientists to draw meaningful insights from data. A structured data science course in Pune offers the theoretical and practical aspects of statistics required to excel.

6. Communication and Data Visualization Skills

Being able to explain your findings in a clear and concise manner is crucial. Data scientists often need to communicate with non-technical stakeholders, making tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Matplotlib essential for creating insightful visualizations. DataCouncil’s data science course in Pune includes modules on data visualization, which can help you present data in a way that’s easy to understand.

7. Domain Knowledge
