[quote=Anonymous]Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is very effective for children with Autism or Autism related disorders. Typically developing children learn without our intervention--that is, the 'typical' environment they are born into provides the right conditions to learn language, play, and social skills; whereas, children with autism learn much, much less from the environment. They are often capable of learning, but it takes a very structured environment, one where conditions are optimized for acquiring the same skills that typical children learn 'naturally.' ABA is all about the rules for setting up the environment to enable our kids to learn. Not sure of any places that specialize in ABA in Northern Virginia or DC, but Kennedy Krieger in Baltimore has a wonderful ABA program.[/quote]
