I'm looking into getting my 6 year old son ABA therapy. I've heard a few bad things about it, like people comparing it to dog training. What are some of the pros and cons? What sorts of things does ABA help strengthen? Have some of you had great success with it or did it end up being something that didn't work for your child?
We love ABA for our son...(4 years old). The group we use is phenomenal, the work on everything. They are basically a child led group. I am not to far from your area. If you want to check out aba I can give you their name. (They are out of Winston-Salem) good luck!
Hi @A MyAutismTeam Member, sorry for taking so long to respond to you. My son is more on the classically autistic side. Whenever we have any therapies for him, that are outside of school, my husband and I make sure that one of us are present to gain as much info as we can so that we can work with him as well. I've never heard of the treatments you mentioned. I may have to do some research on them.
Thanks @A MyAutismTeam Member :)
