Re: Thinking about doing ABA for my son, advice please.

[Guest guest]

Thank you all very much for your responses.

I am going to have a real good look into both RDI and ABA, everything just seems

so expensive, is it only Caurdwell that can help us mums out or are there any

other means of support?

Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

decrease hours to eventually stop (because he was doing so well!) I decided my

only option would be to give up work and home educate him myself. I do feel ABA

has been brilliant for us as he is very academic but i think as with every

therapy you can only take it so far, even though he has learnt alot he is still

lacking in areas of play & socialisation, now im sure if i had done Sonrise he

would be playing wonderfully but may have not got so far academically, but who

knows i can only guess.

mainstream school and he is doing well, he goes for half a day at the mo, and I

was going to find a therapy for when he comes out of school at 12. Really stuck

at the moment, I feel that he needs more as he isnt getting enough at school.
