What is Aba therapy ?
@A MyAutismTeam Member the only negatives comes from the humans who implement programs...not in the method itself. With well trained (I can't think of an appropriate word for it, so went with… read more
How do u know if your child needs ABA?
It’s usually the recommendation of the Dr who diagnosed. If it’s something you’re considering then you’d have an evaluation done just like with other services like speech and OT
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.

Thank you for the information.
There are some grants out there. This is one that I know of http://www.uhccf.org/ but I have heard that there are others.
My 5 year old son was recently diagonsed with mild Autism. His opportunities are social interaction & some sensory. He's always so in his own head or acting out his favorite cartoon that he doesn't listen to us a lot of the time. Getting him to stop & focus can be hard. He's currently receiving Speech & O.T services weekly. At school is his very well behaved & the teachers have no issues with him. But, at home it's another story. He has trouble handling his emotions & will have tantrums… read more
