How to convince the school that VB is more beneficial for our son..

February 2, 2004

Dear all,

We need to convince our school district that VB approach is more beneficial

than pure DTT. School has its own version of DTT which is mix an match of

Lovaas and similar DTT intervention. How to put forward our case?.

Surely the school will not buy in to our evaluation report and may ask us to

take part in their evaluation. Based on our privately funded therapy we

found that our son did show an remarkable improvement using VB.But we had to

discontinue due to funding issues and now we are asking school to help us

out.

They will surely say that without trying out their DTT intervention how can

we claim that it won't work. Our 1.5 years of experience showed that it did

very little for our son ( though I do not blame the program entirely as

there could be multiple factors like poor instructions and therapists and

also my son's learning problems..) Now we do not want to waste our valuable

time in trying out as time is fast running out for my 6 year old son.

kindly advise

regards

sunil
