ABA therapy is critical, especially with early intervention. It is meant to teach behavior not only for the kiddo, but for the family too. We've included our babysitters as well so they know how to… read more
Hello, all. I am seeking any tips, advice, suggestions, anything on how to manage ABA therapy with my three year old diagnosed with autism while also having another little one. I am nervous/worried about my two year old feeling neglected and want to make sure I’m fulfilling the needs of both.
I think those of us who have two or more children have been through this, I remember feeling like I wouldn’t be able to give equally to my boys when my younger child was diagnosed. If the ABA hours… read more
My daughter (7 years old) already has an ASD diagnosis through our Regional Center. She received it years ago after already having received nearly two years of related services. She is what many would term "high-functioning" as she's mainstreamed at school with only pull out services for speech. This next school year she will also be pulled out for social behavior type classes.
I know anxiety can go hand-in-hand with ASD. More and more of her behaviors appear to me to be in response to… read more
If she’s now of school age (maybe depending on each state but) they typically have a kind of revaluation at that age and you’d be able to discuss the changes/behaviors that you’re seeing. Sometimes an… read more
Hello, My son just turned 4 this month and received a formal ASD diagnosis. I'm looking for a good ABA provider. Anyone have recommendations? I would appreciate it. I feel like I'm navigating in the dark.
Thanks!
Oh that's great. We have Anthem Blue Cross and Easter Seals is one of the providers. I will add them to my list of providers to check out. Thanks.
Hi -
We want to switch ABA providers and wanted to know if anyone liked their provider? We heard a lot of good things about Autism Partnership but they don't accept our insurance.
Thanks!
I have had good luck with Inizio
Can anyone recommend a good ABA provider around the Palo Alto area? Thanks
Thx so much
Hello, I'm new to this board, so hopefully I'm doing this right...my son was diagnosed with ASD, and we live in Houston, Texas. We have insurance through my husbands job, however, our insurance does not cover ABA, and we make too much to be on medicaid. Any programs that are through the government and have grants available, have ridiculously long waits, like over a year. I was wondering if anyone was aware of any other options out there. TIA!!
I live in Dallas. We thought our insurance wouldn't cover ABA as well and it was usually because the provider was out of network. The ABA place we first went to figured out some codes after we had… read more
Thank you debbiewebbie!
My son, age 15, is obsessed with the military and has been for quite some time. He is very high functioning but still has some issues, particularly because he is also ADHD. When he takes his medication, he does very well, but there is still that inability to read subtle social cues, fixation on a topic, etc. Does anyone know if it is possible to enter the military with an ASD diagnosis?
Yes, that helps a lot! I will talk to my son about it and then reach out to our local recruiter, especially knowing that he won't get the recruitment hard-sell. Thanks!
