A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My son won't use is Ipad, because he cannot watch TV, or exit the screen and choose what he wants to watch he as no interest on the Ipad. I brought the Ipad mainly for communication not that I want allow him to watch is shows however I want him to realize that the main purpose of the Ipad is for communicating his needs.

So, I saw this add for a program for our kids that claims 100% positive results. Apparently, it is tailored to each individual child to take specific steps to improve their behavior, diets, social skills, etc. without the use of ABA. I had a one on one call with the founder last week and she claims to have a daughter on the spectrum that has learned to thrive through her program and her website touts other testimonials of people who have seen social, emotional, and verbal improvements in their… read more
