[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] ABA therapy won't increase your child's receptive language. That's hard-wired in the brain. It will allow your child to parrot back appropriate scripts at appropriate times and get some of his needs met. But it doesn't increase naturalistic language. For that, you want a child-led language therapy. [/quote] Good ABA/VB therapy, emphasis on the VB, actually can increase naturalistic language, and focus on pragmatic/functional use of language. We've had some decent success with it with a kid whose primary issue (on the language side) is communication with peers and language use in a social setting. Contrasted with speech and language therapy, that was child led and in context (in addition to 1:1), from which we saw zero progress no doubt in part because generalization was a big issue. [/quote]
