[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am of the mind that the more ABA you can do, the better.  Admittedly, we were pretty extreme for our DC -- began ABA at age 2 and did at least 40 hours a week (7 days a week).  But it absolutely changed his path.  If it's done right, the program will be tailored to his particular needs and goals, so it will be very productive.  Best of luck.[/quote]

That sounds financially out of reach for pretty much everyone though.[/quote]

I agree... I am the PP whose child gets 5 to 6 hours a week. We also pay for the ABA therapist to train everyone and meet with teachers etc throughout the year. At $150 an hour, I have no idea who could pay for 40 hours a week...

Insurance.  Ours covered it and we just had a small co-pay per session (under $20).  Otherwise, its for the very wealthy.  Some counties also provide it.  We have friends in Montgomery County and their child was getting it through Infant and Toddler.  It surprised me so maybe it is a newer thing.  [/quote]
