Re: DIR/Floortime or ABA ?

[Guest guest]

I don't know how long you've had your son at this ABA school - have

you considered switching to a different provider? We are using CARD

now, and are very impressed with them.

We did ABA and biomed treatment with my daughter who had apraxia and

autism and she lost her diagnoses. Have you tried carnosine and/or

essential GSH from wellness health? These were very helpful to my

daughter, who was not a big responder to fish oil.

I think that some kids have medical issues that interfere with

learning, and that adding biomed treatment may make a big difference.

Have you taken your son to a DAN doctor?

best wishes
