ABA Vs. Speech Therapy
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does it make sense to mix ABA with ST and OT, instead of just doing ABA

My 21 month old son was just diagnosed as being on the spectrum last week. He had already been scheduled to receive speech therapy, occupational therapy, and special instruction due to his language delays and sensory issues. Now that he has an autism diagnosis I'm being told he should get 4 hours of ABA a day; 2 at a center and 2 at home, and that will replace all the other therapies. I still don't even fully believe… read more

My son started speech therapy at 19 months of age. That led to several gruops for him all through his years under age 18. He initially was misdiagnosed with ADHA while age 5 but the Ritalin helped… read more

What Are The Benefits Of PT?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My son receives ABA, OT and ST totalling about 20-22 hours/week. He recently turned 5, and is mostly nonverbal and also has apraxia of speech. Therapy is mainly home based, partial clinic. He has strong echoic abilities, tougher spontaeous communication, relies on PECS and recently started learning AAC. All that said, his OT recommended he has a PT eval bc she sees challenges w gross motor imitation (GMI)—he does have some GMI skills but she thinks PT will help growth. She also said that the PT… read more

Thank you everyone! I think PT is worth evaluating to see if even needed; his OT is very talented and supportive. But I know we need to be mindful of how we proceed, because all that said, if he does… read more

Anyone Had Experience With Both DIR/Floortime And ABA?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm looking for some insight from anyone who's had experience with both DIR/Floortime and with ABA. We might be moving our son to a new school who uses DIR/Floortime but our Regional Center thinks it's not as effective or useful as ABA.

ABA is more efficient if applied by certified therapists consistently. floor time can help in addition, I find it great for play time at home. this is just my opinion.

Which Therapies Are Most Important For Young Toddlers?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My daughter has ABA theraphy and nothing else yet. I want her to have speech, occupational and physical but not sure she would be able to handle all of that at once, plus I don't see how there is enough time to fit all of that in daily. I really need help with which is the most important for her young age. Please share your experiences or what has helped your child during toddler years. Thank you.

Good Schools In Irvine, California?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hello, we've heard great things about the school districts in Irvine. My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with moderate ASD. She's been in a special day class in San Leandro, CA and has been in every type of service since she was initially diagnosed (private OT, ABA, Speech and music therapy). The school has offered the basics, and not even OT! After sending letters she will finally have an assessment. She is transitioning to Kinder. At this point we are willing to move wherever services are… read more

Will Child Be Able To Speak With Intensive ABA Therapy?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My 2 yr old girl is diagnosed with autism.She regressed at 18months of age. Her development pediatration recommended to go for early intensive ABA therapy for 30 hrs a week. When I asked her about Speech and OT .She said OT is not required for this kid and speech will come with ABA. She is non verbal but babbles a lot with some meaningless words.Will they really start speaking with ABA therapy?
I was thinking ABA is only for behaviour!!

ABA Therapy And Insurance Coverage
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am in the process of trying to get my Health Insurance to cover ABA therapy for my 4 year old son. I know that they may not cover this type of therapy. What funding and/or scholarships are available to help cover this expense as I cannot afford to pay for it? Are there other alternatives to this type of therapy that will work as well? I live in the state of Ohio. Please advise. I am stressing out about this.

Sorry I've been gone for a while. Regional center is a government run program. They provide early intervention and testing for kids from birth until 3.

DIR Vs ABA
