ABA for Autistic kids - how long does it take to see any effect?

[Guest guest]

Hi, all.

My three and a half year old autistic son is about to get initial

evaluation for ABA and start a 10 hour/week therapy the end of this month.

He can only say a few words and do not use them effectively for

communications. We have been giving him Omega-3 fish oil for the last

two months before realizing that we should give them an Omega-3 and

Omega 6 mixture. I just got it yesterday from GNC.

Anyway, since my son not only have speech issue, but also other

sensory integration issues. There are only very few things that he

would eat and he has tantrums frequently.

So my question is how long would ABA therapy normally take to see any

effect on his speech, eating behavior, or tantrum?

Thx,
