[quote=Anonymous]Dislaimer: i know that ABA is controversial, but I"m not looking to discuss that here.

I have been looking for ABA for my 4 y.o. DD and it has been a complete nightmare. Do I really think she needs it?  No, but trying can't hurt, and it's something her developmental pediatrician suggested.  But I'm astounded at what I've encountered. Can someone explain the BTS parts of it?  Lots of ABA companies out there that don't even seem legit, and why do so many absolutely require a 15-20 hour minimum?  My DD goes to FCPS PAC and there is no way we are willing to cut school for this.  After finally finding an ABA provider that seemed to meet our needs in October and all the back and forth correspondence since then, we've had 3 different case managers due to turnover.  We finally met our behavioral technicain yesterday, and she just graduated highschool last year.  What in the world?  While she was very sweet and professional, she clearly was inexperienced and I am about to axe this altogether.

Can someone enlighten me about the world of ABA?  And, if possible, recommend a provider in the No VA area before I axe this altogether?[/quote]
