Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hello all, I am in need of guidance. We had our phone consult with Dr. G last night. He is adamantly opposed to ABA and spent some time last night go over why ABA is not the right approach to take. Right now we have a good 20 hour a week in home program for our newly four year old son. I am too afraid to let it go and trust that all of our son's problems will resolve in time through the protocol. Right now we are considering spending three weeks at the Judevine School in St. Louis to have a sort of " boot camp " like experience to help our boy with language, socialization, and potty training. I know some of you have incorporated ABA and other methods (ie. Floortime and RDI) along with the protocol. The last thing I want to do is overstress our child not to mention the stress of financing all of this therapy. But at the same time I do not want to chance it and let the ABA go. Is there anyone out there who regrets doing ABA? Does anyone have experience with the Judevine School? Has anyone out there ever done a sort of " boot camp " three week approach that was helpful and lasting? By the way we think our fella is moderate ASD. Any thoughts would be so appreciated. Thanks, Martha Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Just my two sense, but aba does not work well for " some " of our kids. It does work well for " some " of our kids. Things aren't always so black and white... If your particular child is showing improvements, keep the services. Personally ABA has helped minimally and he has had it for five years. I would still NEVER give up my hours. See if your provider is willing to incorporate other methods into his hours. The rapid prompting method is the best method I have seen work with our kids both personally and professionally??? Sincerely, L.
