What I observed at Saturday seminars on ABA at a local university which included short videos of sessions is that practitioners are tight and nervous and focus excessively on trying to get it just "right." They are trying to perfectionize one particular method, rather than developing a wider repertoire of methods.

And they don't seem to really understand sensory issues at all.
