Guest guest Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hi Jodi, My daughter, 5 BPP, gets ABA therapy at home with a behavioral therapist as part of her school IEP. She is non verbal, and global dev. delays. She has some behavioral challenges and poor attention. It has been very helpful in keeping her structured at home, learning to play independently and communicating. Good luck! Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry® ABA Therapy Hello everyone, I was just curious if anyone has ever tried ABA therapy. I know it is used a lot with children on the autism spectrum but I haven't heard if it is also useful with other special needs such as Polymicrogyria. Any input and experience would be appreciated. It is expensive and I would just like some personal experiences if there are any out there to help me decide if it would be worth it. Although anything is worth a try right? Has anyone tried any other type of therapies that have shown good results? Thanks, Jodi Mom to Sirlei, 2 1/2 with bilateral PMG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 We haven't tried ABA therapy, but we started with a Feldenkraistherapist and have had amazing results. Good luck and let us know if you do try it and how it works for you.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Katy, Feldenkrais therapist apply pressure to muscles and joints that send messages to his brain because his brain doesn't send messages to his body like it should. She works with Sawyer during play and he loves it! He loves her too. I found the therapist by google search, I typed in " Feldenkrais and the city and state I live in " and a ton of therapist came up. Sawyer has cerebral palsy as well as bilateral perisylvian polymicrogyria, he is 2 1/2 and he doesn't walk or talk. He signs for communication. As for paying for the therapy, I have gone back to work part time to help pay for Sawyer's therapies. It's worth every penny. Hope this helps!
