[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ABA is discrete trial training, hence the repetition and the need for a lot of hours.

You can't do it in a couple hours a week.[/quote]

Sure you can. If the goals are well defined and the child has good verbal skills and high IQ. 3-4 hours of ABA a week would be max for my kid. Even 1 hour would be helpful (the goals would also be worked on at home.)[/quote]

Most companies won't bother with this. Not worth their time or efforts

And that would be an indicia of a practitioner I did not want to work with. [/quote]

I had to chuckle at this. What do you mean? ABA companies send therapists out to homes. They can’t be driving all the way to your home just to bill a one hour session, just to drive out to another place to do another 1 hr session. It’s not good business.

Op- a lot of ABA groups/ psych groups/ot clinics have weekly social skills classes, and of course there is individual ot and st. 
But I will say, I know a highly intelligent kid with mild asd/severe adhd who started ABA in tween years and it’s been amazing for him. 15 hrs a week. [/quote]
