UPDATE!! Re: SCD ABA reinforcers - Hi Antoinette and

[Guest guest]

Hello to my enthusiastic and passionate listmates!

I was surprised to see these posts to my " old " reinforcer query... I

should update you on Cameron's recent BREAKTHROUGHS! Last week he told

me one of his stuffed dog's names is BUDDY! WHAAA?! Fantastic! He

HUGGED HIS SISTER goodbye when he went off to preschool. He WAVED at

me UNPROMPTED from a distance when I met him and his daddy at the

beach last Saturday. He returned SMILES to his grandad yesterday! His

scripting is at an ALL TIME LOW!He actually looked HEALTHY all last

week - until I let him have some almond flour in a cake yesterday -

then he became unwell (pudding poop, running around and not responding

to our questions, dark circles this morning from the almond

" hangover " ) - we're on to something and it all makes sense... Thanks all!

ps - our Educational Consultant is VERY much into NET - Natural

Environment Teaching... we left off table trialing months and months

ago - I've read up on RDI (over $200 spent on Gutstein's books and CD)

and it makes perfect sense to me - we will head there next if I spot

too many gaps in his current program!

Lynn - Mommy to Cameron 3.8 (ASD)- SCD over 30 days now with LOD in

addition making a lot of sense - and Mia Jean (allergies retested -

still severe milk allergy, but nuts are ok?! Good news to me!)
