[quote=Anonymous]We are trying ABA for the first time with our 9 year old and its been recommended we do 20 hours a week, which equates to everyday from 4-7pm and some time on the weekend. I know people have mixed feelings in general about aba, but we were fortunate enough to have a bcba therapist come highly recommended to us from friends who have used her before. The problem is not the practice of ABA, but that our home is small we have two younger kids. We've done 3 sessions and its been fine. But I feel like I have to get the other kids out of the house (and this can only happen when my husband is also home since one of us always have to be there while the therapist is there) or we are secluded to a small space trying to stay our of their way. It just makes it hard to have routine with the other kids and get stuff done around the house. It also means our child receiving the aba is stuck inside from 4-7. Curious how others aba has looked for an older child and how you work it with siblings. Or if I should reduce our hours?[/quote]
