Guest guest Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Sorry - But because we’ve never done this therapy I don’t know much about it. Is ABA and ABM basically the same?

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!

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 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Unfortunately neither I am going to be paying for it out of pocket. She gets therapy through our states early intervention but it is not near as intensive as this. And we are applying for grants to help pay for it now. When she turns 3 and goes into head start preschool I am going to try and get the school district to help pay for it but that will be quite the fight I am told. But i know of kids who do get ABA and the district pays for it so it's worth pushing for. Insurance in my state doesn't have to cover this type of therapy either yet.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 ok - thanks for the info. I'm thinking of bringing this up at the next meeting with the school. CC: polymicrogyria To: polymicrogyria From: jsmmelendez@... Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2011 16:17:49 -0600 Subject: Re: Re: ABA - ABM?? Unfortunately neither I am going to be paying for it out of pocket. She gets therapy through our states early intervention but it is not near as intensive as this. And we are applying for grants to help pay for it now. When she turns 3 and goes into head start preschool I am going to try and get the school district to help pay for it but that will be quite the fight I am told. But i know of kids who do get ABA and the district pays for it so it's worth pushing for. Insurance in my state doesn't have to cover this type of therapy either yet.

They both treat different things. ABA is used to change and teach different behaviors amongst other things and ABM i believe is actually based off of feldenkrais so it is very similar to that type of therapy. It has to do with teaching the body to move. If you google each therapy you will get a much better description than I am giving;) I am going to start ABA with my daughter next month in hopes of changing some behaviors and learning new ones that will help her become more independent. As well as increase her communication skills as she is nonverbal but learning to use her ipad. We will be having a therapist come to our house 3 times a week for 2.5 to 3 hours each day. And they will train me to do the program on the other days. > > Jodi, mom to Sirlei, 2 with bilateral PMG > > Sent from my iPhone > > > > > > > >> Sorry - But because we’ve never done this therapy I don’t know much about > >> it. > >> > >> Is ABA and ABM basically the same? > >> > >> From: polymicrogyria [mailto:polymicrogyria ] > >> On Behalf Of Kristie Beniasch > >> Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2011 4:44 PM > >> To: polymicrogyria > >> Subject: Re: Re: ABA therapy > >> > >> 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.
