The article provides a good reason to not blindly follow Lovaas and his ABA therapy

I read this and now I wonder about math :-( . I always loved math, so no issues there, but my son hates math and so I don't push too much, but he's 14...he's gotta get with the program :-( . Any ideas on how this could affect math drills, etc? Maybe someone who also hated math?
