[quote=Anonymous]In the beginning, the therapist focuses on "pairing" with your child, and making sure that the table (where work is eventually to be done) is associated with fun. So in the beginning, there is a lot of fun and playing. That part is really essential though, so the child has bonded with therapist enough to follow her instructions. I was so amazed when my son couldn't wait to sit down at the table and begin work! And then he stayed in the chair too! (my son is not the sitting-still type) It has been my responsibility to get reinforcers, and lots of them, and so that takes time and effort. My kid gets bored easily and needs a constant rotation. The effort I put (and $$) in getting the coolest reinforcers helps the therapists excel at their job. For help with ABA terminology, I recommend "The Verbal Behavior Approach" by Barbera.[/quote]
