Guest guest Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 It seems to me like you should have a proper evaluation of her current level of language function by a competent Language Therapist. This should give an objective baseline and inform on how she compares to her peer group and the SLT should then be able to make recommendations on appropriate intervention.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 A good ABA program will have a conversation program within it. There will be programs that deal with social pragmatics, initiating and joining in a conversation, jokes and humor, body language, etc. ~sonya emerson From: <jlhank80@...> Subject: Question about ABA Date: Friday, April 10, 2009, 12:37 PM ABA/ Parents: What do you think about our high functioning kiddos with ABA.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 My son has had ABA for the last 2 years and I'm very glad for it. I will say that I feel very strongly that any ABA and DTT should be done as natural as possible and I've been very involved in making sure my son's program fits that mold. ABA is also only as good as it's therapists so you need to make sure you have the right therapists to suit the program you want.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Very important observations by Cheryl. " A good ABA program should be done as natural as possible is also only as good as it's therapists. So you need to make sure you have the right therapists " I also second what Sonya said - " A good ABA program will have a conversation program within it. There will be programs that deal with social pragmatics, initiating and joining in a conversation, jokes and humor, body language, etc. " Marcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 We take our son to 2 hours of private speech a week after school. He also gets two 30 minute sessions at school. We took him to get a private speech assessment with Dr. Suzy Fosnot at the age of 4 and that was her recommendations.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 My son's language and social skills have progressed exponentially with private speech and OT (started this January), and being on Dr. G's protocol (for 3.5 years). I can't say the same for the 3 years of ABA he had.
