[quote=Anonymous]The discourse around ABA has been hijacked by 1) people who are now teens/early 20s+ and went through the therapy at least a decade ago if not more when it was a lot stricter, more regimented, and you committed to probably 25+ hours a week of it which is more than many kids get now and 2) people who have mild ASD and/or were diagnosed later in life beyond the early childhood years, who can’t see the need for ABA. People with level 1/mild ASD wouldn’t need ABA anyway. If you have a level 2 or 3/moderate or severe kid it’s potentially a game changer. My DS was almost 3 when he was diagnosed. He had few words and a lot of echolalia and the use of a speech device was brought up. Now with a year of ABA under his belt, he’s newly 4 and, yes, still quite delayed but no one would suggest using a device or program now. He’s able to verbally communicate most of the time. [/quote]
