[quote=Anonymous]CSAAC provides ABA in-home therapy.  It is expensive, but they are very good.  If your child is younger than 3 and you live in Montgomery County, you should contact Montgomery County Infants & Toddlers and have your son evaluated.  They can provide therapy for you child at no cost, although it may not be the recommended 20-40 hours/week.  If your child is older than 3, then the public schools have programs for autistic children.  My daughter is in the CAPP ("Collaborative Autism Pre-School Program") program at the Montgomery Primary Achievement Center, it's a very good program.  Not all autistic children respond to ABA, although it's the most well-known, there are lots of other approaches available (Floortime, Son-Rise, RDI, etc.).  Your child may benefit from a combination of approaches -- it all depends on their specific area of needs.  The delivery system may vary, but fundamentals are the same -- some parents call it the "get in your child's face" approach.  Basically, you have to actively engage them -- get them to interact with you.  If you can figure out what motivates your child, you can use those motivators to reward and reinforce the behaviors you want to encourage.  [/quote]
