[quote=Anonymous]My DS was diagnosed with ASD at 2.5. He has a speech delay and some social deficits. Prior to the ASD diagnosis, my insurance would not pay for any speech, OT or ABA therapies. With the diagnosis, all of these services are covered. I was very wary of ABA therapy because of all of the negativity associated with it. However, I have been pleasantly surprised with both the progress and my DS enjoyment of his ABA therapy. I would not, however, rely on it solely for speech. While they are working towards increasing my DS ability to ask for his wants/needs through sign language and spoken language, it is not a substitute for speech therapy. ABA is definitely not working towards conversational language. However, the combination of ABA, OT and speech therapies is working very well for my DS.[/quote]
