[quote=Anonymous]I agree with you. Start slow and ramp up if you want once you see how he responds. From your description, my son was much more severe than yours and was also recommended about 25 hours a week.

It took us a year to find an ABA therapist that clicked with my son and now he gets 5 to 6 hours of ABA a week.

However, we did have a training session for all the teachers, us parents, the nanny/shadow and the grandparents (all parties that work with our child) to go over interactions and expectations. We are all on the same page now. Examples of interactions and expectations: tell him what to do rather than what not to do (may be common sense to some but not to others), speak in simple phrases rather than multiply step instructions (at first), give him appropriate time to respond (wait 10 second rather than asking it again). These are just a few of the basic ideas we covered. It really helped to have everyone on the same page with how to interact with our child.

We have seen huge progress and I think a lot of that is due to the constant and common way we all work with my son based on our training.
