> Hello all,

>

> My son is 3 1/2 and has autism spectrum disorder. I started him in our

county school system 6 months ago and he had regressed considerably and made

no progress towards meeting goals as of yet. I hired a CABA to start a home

program in Verbal Behavior/ABA and his progress is beginning to climb. I

have gone through 5 IEP meetings and 1 mediation hearing trying to get them

to be consistant. I have offered to pay for the training myself and to do

the bulk of the work at home. They have refused and all that they have

offered up is that they need him for more hours than the six that they are

presently getting and they want to have an independant program evaluation.

The person that they offered up is a gun for hire that has presented at LRP

conferences on how the school system can build a defendable autism program

and win against parents doing a home ABA program. They don't know that I

know this yet, but the people that I suggested to do the program evaluation

are too busy (i.e. Carbone and McGreevie).

> Cutting to the chase: I need a Board Certified Behavior Analyst to

contract with my school system to do the program evaluation. If anyone knows

of someone that could do this and does not have a 6 to 12 month waiting list

please email your responses to me privately.
