They will not give you a compression belt. Is this is your 1st session the person coming to the house will probably take some baseline data and/or run some assessments to see if your child has anything that needs to be strengthened and worked on or if there any behaviors that need to be modified or changed and then they will create a program for him and each time they will implement different therapies depending on what Lee assessment results are. Each town has different some clients master targets quickly while others don't and it takes a long time and they can be very frustrating but you have to understand that it does work. You not to think of it this way it yourself how long does it take for a normal kid to develop a certain skill sometimes it takes a pretty long time well a child with autism might take even longer but they will eventually get it in master that skill based on whatever criteria is set for that child. Some types of therapies can be working on conversation or it can be working on some kind of readiness skills or can be working on labeling different things or it can be grouping things by certain categories or it can be requesting for items independently or it can be receptively identifying certain things or it can be identifying things based on feature function or class it all depends on the child and what they need.

We’ve been doing ABA for about 5 years now with great success. We have team meetings (just therapists and my husband and I) every month where we talk about his progress and we can ask questions. Focus on problem areas etc.

My 8 year old has been getting ABA services for a few months now. It has helped him take some huge steps forward in terms of coping with overstimulation and processing.
