Re: ABA question

[Guest guest]

-April-I have a fabulous book called " Teaching Language to Children

with Autism or Other Developmental Disorders " by Mark L. Sundberg,PHD

and W.Partington,PHD They run Behavior Analysts,Inc in

California. I ordered it after watching a fascinating show on

Dateline about a little girl who's mother learned this technique and

the girl " recovered. " I actually tracked down the mother and we spoke

on the phone quite a bit-I found this book amazing and my daughter

was able to make HUGE strides before ever starting preschool or

kindergarten. She does great now and I attribute it to a headstart at

home.I also have a workbook from there that lets you evaluate your

child over and over to find out specifically what s/he has learned.

It was very helpful and encouraging to see improvement. The address

in the book is Behavior Analysts,Inc 3329 Road Pleasant

Hill,CA 94523 Phone # (925)210-9374 They also have a website which

I haven't checked out lately but it used to be

www.corteks.com/STARS Good luck! I hope this helps.

Has A LOT of stimming that I just can't seem to get her to stop.

Looking at ceiling, hand flapping, crossing her eyes, major stuff

with her hands. How do I get her to stop this, or redirect it so that

I can get her to " Sit down, Hands down, Look at Me, Do this.... ya

know!
