[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone, please stop attacking the OP. School teams say unkind and provocative things like that all the time to try to dissuade parents from pursuing services. We have no idea whether her child needs the services or not.

OP, one thing is that few SLPs are trained in pragmatic speech beyond a certain basic level so even if your child is lacking terribly in this realm she may not be qualified to help anyway. MCPS does not provide ABA-type services unless your child is in a self-contained program and you're right they won't let your private provider come and help on a regular basis.

One option is for your ABA provider to come observe your child at school a few times and then create a program that can be used outside of school. The other option is private and the private ABA therapist working with your child at school. I know several families that did this and they were happy with the this as they had more control over the therapist and could target deficits they were seeing.

Also, ABA is not really used for higher level social skills so it sounds like your child may be beyond this. You should try a social thinking group or maybe Ivymount's Unstuck and On Target program on weekends.[/quote]

Thank you for your kind note.  We do go to social group with CLC which helped out a lot.    We also do a lot of private therapies such as speech, OT and visual.  I am setting ABA program right now at home.   I am doing my part.   What  I am hoping to use ABA for is to correct behaviors such as invading personal space, putting objects in front of peer's faces, etc.  Behaviors that would really turn someone away.  Thanks a lot for the tip on Ivymount's Unstuck and On Target programs!   I will check them out.[/quote]
