Several claims are without citations such as "The treatment is done at home with parents involved, and the curriculum is highly individualized with a heavy emphasis on teaching eye contact, fine and gross motor imitation, and language." The article acknowledges the controversy of ABA in a slighlty negative skewing manner. Where there are the controversies brought up, there is no mention of the misconceptions that drives the controversies.

Added citation to claim:"Lovaas incorporated aversives into some of the ABA practices he developed, including employing electric shocks, slapping, and shouting to modify undesirable behavior."
