Re: Behavior Analysis Inc for ABA Therapy?

July 7, 2008

Hi,

We did in home ABA w/Behavior Analysis. My son had just turned 2. I was very,

very happy with them. We used a guest cottage that was not being used at our

home and I installed a nanny cam so I could watch the sessions in my living

room. Now I understand they offer something like this so you can watch on your

computer during the sessions. We used them for just a short time before he was

enrolled in a full time ABA based program but I was very happy with the

staffing, the students (our workers were always students) were very enthusiastic

and my son liked " playing " with them after he became adjusted to having demands

made of him. The Certified Behavior Analyst who oversaw the program was always

available for me via phone or email if I had questions and I met with her weekly

to discuss his progress and changes to the program.

The reason we did in home opposed to at their center was that b/c I was having

my son do 20 hours a week and he was 24 months old. Their offices are in

Sunrise in Broward (I belive, unless they have since moved) and the distance was

pretty far for me to travel twice daily so I decided to do in home. I don't

know if it is true at this time but 2 years ago they did charge more for an in

home program. At the time I also felt like b/c he was so small and we were just

finding out exactly what was going on with him (autism, global developmental

delays) I'd rather have him at home with me although I now know that he would

have probably been better off in a center setting b/c it would have been more

challenging. But the therapy was wonderful I thought. The only reason we

stopped utilizing after those few months was that I enrolled him in a center

based full time ABA based program that addressed not only the behavioral but

speech, OT, everything and I didn't

need the additional hours w/Behavior Analysis anymore.

Good luck!
