autism

Of all the therapies available to kids along the autistic spectrum I think everyone pretty much agrees that Applied Behavior Analysis is the most beneficial.  ABA consists of short drills which are rewarded with items unique to each child.  Because our kids don’t necessarily get motivated by typical rewards it is up to the consultant and parents to come up with motivators that will keep the child interested.  The programs need to constantly be tweaked to work for your particular child.  An innovative consultant is very important.  It is a time consuming commitment and can be very frustrating but if done properly can truly make a difference in most kids along the spectrum.
