Re: [SPAM] Encouraging Communication in Child

[Guest guest]

Is there a name yet for all these behavioral modification-type techniques?

Maybe people are using the acronym ABA, like people use the term Xerox.

Xerox was the first company and then everyone starting calling copying,

xeroxing.

But its not so at all. So if there is no term classifying all these

techniques/studies or there is one but most people don't know it, they will

probably think ABA is synonymous with behavioral modification-type treatments.

One man used with a small group of children.

I can't believe there is still such a pervasive misunderstanding about

What ABA is. Unbelievable "

You analogy of the Xerox made me smile.

In my experience, most of the time when people use the term ABA, they think

of Discrete Training Trials (DTT) on the table with some edibles as

reinforces.

Did you do Son-Rise? We did when was much younger. Back then, the

two main things were Lovaas and Son-Rise and I saw someone doing Lovaas and I

just couldn't bring myself to do it; it seemed so negative. The ABA done

today is definitely NOT Lovaas. There was another child in our district who

also did Son-Rise and the district always said that our kids didn't have the

behavior problems other kids seemed to have. 's social skills were so

much higher than his other skills because of it.

I haven't met many people who have done Son-Rise. I eventually incorporated

the philosophies of Son-Rise with ABA and found that worked the best for

him. There is actually some long-time instructors from Son-Rise who felt the

same way and went and started their own program doing the exact same thing.

Growing Minds in Florida. One of the people who worked with when we

were up at our intensive program for Son-Rise went with them, so it was great

that she already knew us, etc.

My email is _HildaBowen@..._ (mailto:HildaBowen@...) if you want to

talk about it off list.
