Guest guest Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 In a message dated 12/7/2002 5:12:59 AM Central Standard Time, writes: << Wow - what a horrifying experience for that poor family! The idea of stressing a child with autism to the point where he develops PTS syndrome is heart wrenching. We have been very lucky with our home based ABA therapy. The therapists are EXTREMELY positive to the point where it becomes a daily 2 hour praise session. Luca loves it (usually :-)). I think this story shows 2 things 1) the quality of the therapists and the service provider make a huge difference and 2) no one treatment, even if performed correctly, is right for every child. There is no one " correct " cookie-cutter approach that fits all kids with ASDs. Dan, father of Luca (whose bus just pulled up...) >> Dan, We have had an in-home program for for several years. I think there are some ways to prevent mistreatment of our children in any setting. First, educate ourselves on the techniques and philosophies used. Be direct about what is acceptable and unacceptable in the treatment of your child. Second, monitor sessions. Third, involve yourself in the planning and programming. Of the five kids that our senior therapist works with I'm the only parent that is home for all sessions and the only one that attends the weekly team meetings. The senior and I are a team in planning and addressing my son's behavior needs. Together we lead the team. She can't do it alone since she isn't here for every session. Of course there are no guarantees but we need to be confident that we know our child best and trust our gut as to what is right and wrong for our children. OK, off my soapbox.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Speaking of ABA, are there any ABA, DST, Lovass, Carbonne style, CARRS, or what ever tutors in the Austin area who would like to work with our mild mannered very compliant 9 year old that just loves to work and read? We need 4 hours a day for 7 days a week for at least September and mabe October and beyond... any part or all of these hours, one to twenty-eight hours a week will help. You can follow our establised program or use your own. It pays $10.00 per hour. Please contact Carmen @ 414 2427 or home @ 291 9877. or corky341@...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 We have been through many " designers " and many different " providers " - they are both important- but I think the " designer " is crucial- look into Coby Lund ABA Hi All, Is there a big difference in who designs and moniters the ABA program or is the quality mostly dependant upon the therapists working with my child? or both? If anyone has recommendations for me that would be a great help. Thanks, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Having some who oversees the program who is qualified to do so and who also knows your child is very important. The program needs to be customized to your child and not a blanket programs that is given to all children. The consultant needs to have an extensive experience and knowledge with working with children on the autism spectrum ( all levels). We did an ABA program and I would love to talk to you about it. Feel free to email me at hcf67@...

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 It is both. Please please please make sure that the people running your ABA programs are Board Certified and can explain to you why they run the programs they are running. How will it help your child in the long run. There are lots of people in Georgia who say they are consultants but are not certified. Not quite sure where they are getting the training but from being a therapist themselves. That is not grounds for running and implementing a childs' program. Little more technical than that. Just my .02 cents from experience.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 There are good professionals with lots of educational experience that are not board certified as well. I have run into several BCBA's that have no clue about educational development only behavioral modification. You need to consider this as well. There is more to learning and educating then just behaviors! ABA Hi All, Is there a big difference in who designs andmoniters the ABA program or is the quality mostly dependant upon thetherapists working with my child? or both? If anyone has recommendations forme that would be a great help. Thanks, CA__________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 I **DO NOT** recommend Learning Repetoire in Pearland. The management is horrible. We switched to The Shape of Behavior and it has made a huge difference with my son. I have heard from some other dissatified parents who had their kids at Learning Rep as well. It is worth the longer drive to The Shape of Behavior, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 -My daughter goes to the Learning Repertoire in Clear Lake and she has made TREMENDOUS progress with their help. We have no problems with the management. I don't know how much the Shape of Behavior is, but when I looked into that place I could not afford it. Learning Repertoire is 40-45$/hour and the owner will help you file with insurance. I have heard from several dissatisfied parents in all schools, therapy centers and in life in general. I would reccomend visiting the centers yourself and making your own decision. If I had listened to all the " dissatisfied " parents regarding autism treatment/therapy I might never have tried any intervention at all! -- In Texas-Autism-Advocacy , " Sacks, A " wrote: > > I **DO NOT** recommend Learning Repetoire in Pearland.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 We pay between £10-16 per hour, but it all depends on their experience.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hi, I got an ABA therapist who works with my son and she is the best I would say. she charges £25. per hour and she has 12 years of experience. There is no nonsense with her. she has also written a book on the ABA method of teaching at home. It's called AUTISM THE WAY FORWARD. It sold by karnac books. Have a look.DS Hi, does anyone have an idea of costs involved for an ABA therapist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 good afternoon everyone, im a long term lurker and first time poster! my daughter (kayla) is autistic and 5 in july. she is more or less non verbal apart from the odd word here and there. she was diagnosed at the age of about 2.5 and since then it has just been a total rollercoaster. Initially, after researching the internet we took her off milk and glueten and she improved pretty much straight away, but then she plateaued. We took her to see jean muscroft but we have really struggled to implement the correct diet as she is unbelievably picky. she eats gf fruit loaf from tescos with vitalite, genius bread with vitalite, gf choc biscuits from asda, gf pizzas from asda and innocent smoothies. All of which we know are not 'correct' but are the nearest to it that she will eat. we started aba 12 months ago, where an aba instructor would come up to liverpool (where we live) and teach kaylas mum and 2 volunteers we have helping us. As a result kayla is slowly picking up things and can say things like 'i want buscuit' but she is still struggling in a lot of areas. it is proving difficult to carry out these sessions and what we basically need is someone who is qualified in aba (or something similar) who we can pay to spend 2 or 3 days a week with kayla in school 1 to 1. the current company we use will not budge on their £72 an hour plus expenses and accomodation so we are looking for someone nearer liverpool who would accept less that that hourly rate and would not need accomodation. Can anyone reccommend someone? we are eventually trying to get the council to fund someone in the school full time (forgotten what this is called), i also need advice on this as well! but we are prepared to pay in the meantime. sorry for the long post! and it is an education listening to some of you parents on here, thanks Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
