Consistent Training of Therapists

[Guest guest]

My son's school has been providing 3 hour/day of ABA with Verbal

Behavior therapy. We live in Georgia and this is a rarity. They have

been trained until recently through our private consultant, SCEAP.

We started asking the school to pay their part of the workshops and

they did until recently. Now they have come up with what I believe

is a scheme to avoid paying their part. They have sent some school

personnel(with no previous ABA training) to a DTT workshop held in

another district. And now they have " ABA trained personnel " who no

longer need to attend our workshops. This obviously will not work.

Has anyone ever had therapists working with the same child on the

same programs trained by different sources? I don't believe they

were taught AVB which is a critical portion of my son's program. If

anyone can cite data on why this will be a disaster for my child,

please let me know.
