[quote=Anonymous]If you do ABA you can learn to implement many programs yourself with assistance of a good BCBA, thus limiting overall costs if that’s a concern. You can hire a nanny that can become an RBT or a company can provide one. You do not need a diagnosis to start ABA, many young children start well before a diagnosis. Providers should do a thorough interview, review history, and conduct various assessments as part of the intake process. Parent training will be part of the protocol, home based is encouraged for this reason but services can also be carried over to daycare, community outings, play dates, overlap with other providers, etc. If cost is a concern talk to providers about ways you can minimize those, there are many ways to do this. Generally speaking, the more time you can commit the less financial impact you will see. ABA EI programs are hours and hours of work to get going as most require materials to be bought or made (not difficult to make, just time intensive) but run pretty smoothly after you get a system in place (first 6-12 months are hardest). Find someone with experience in verbal behavior if functional  language  is a primary concern- ABA providers will address other areas as well, not just language.[/quote]
