I don't know about that organization. The behavior analysts I know
focus on positive reinforcement and are completely repulsed by the
misuse of behavioral analysis as punishment of the kinds used by the
Rotenberg Center. They use positive reinforcement first and if they do
use punishment, it would be something like a time out or taking away a
reward, not physically invasive punishments like electro shocks.

They are certified by this organization:

The ones I know don't use the kinds of punishments that are used at
the Rotenberg Center.
