RE: Re: Therapist Recommendation (Rosie in Houston)

[Guest guest]

Hi--

Well, on your list, Aim High Academy is registered as a school. The

distinction is important because school districts can only send kids to

another school, not to a clinic. Also, Aim High is for older children I

believe. The rest are ABA clinics who can handle academic needs in addition

to behavior problems. What part of Houston are you in? You may be better

off requesting a Functional Behavior Assessment and request that it be done

by a BCBA. If the district doesn't have one, then find one who can come in.

Does your child have a Behavior Intervention Plan in place? Have the

teachers reassessed to see why it isn't working? Do the teachers needs some

extra training? All of those are issues that can be handled through the ARD

committee.

You should consider coming to the workshop that FEAT-Houston is hosting on

Saturday talking about these kinds of issues. Also, check the website

www.feathouston.org for a complete list of consultants who you could hire to

do an independent evaluation. You should probably request an independent

evaluation anyway.

Just some ideas. Sorry you're having to go through this.

Re: Therapist Recommendation (Rosie in

Houston)

There are several ABA schools around Houston who might do some type

of observation of your child or work out a program for him at home -

or take him in the school...I'm not sure what you are looking for.

Off the top of my head here are a few: (most have websites for phone

numbers and locations)

The Shape of Behavior

Aim High Academy

Including Kids

Texana

Spectrum of Hope

Tullis Farm in Kemah

We started intervention at 22 months of age. We also used the Texas

Young Autism Project for 1 1/2 years and then switched her to a

school setting at Including Kids. I'm extremely happy with her

progress!

Good luck! Stephanee
