When we first got a diagnosis for our son I read all that I could. From what I read, ABA was THE THING that had science behind it. So I was hot to get my son started on ABA. We didn't (my wife wasn't so hot on the idea), and I have subsequently changed my mind, after reading some of the original ABA stuff, and looking into it more. I now think that classical ABA is rather crude (and sometimes abusive), and what passes under the ABA banner a lot of times isn't really ABA, and that's a good thing.<BR/><BR/>The second thing I've changed my mind on is the "crucial time period" for development, and the corollary "If you don't institute treatment (ABA) before 3 years of age, you'll never see development.<BR/><BR/>I've totally changed my mind on that. Our minds are probably more plastic when we are younger (like less than 12-14 years old), but we continue to learn throughout life.<BR/><BR/>Hope you're off to have some fun. We'll save some fried ravioli for you for when you return.<BR/><BR/>JoeClub 166https://www.blogger.com/profile/01816977079856902634noreply@blogger.com
