[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]learn ABA Therapy and Speech Therapy and you're golden.  50% of our kids will be autistic in the next 50 years.[/quote]

What do you have to do to become certified in ABA therapy? A special degree?[/quote]

I'd be careful about this. As funds get tighter and the evidence on what therapies work evolves there will be more certifications for these folks and I suspect eventually they will go the way of PTs, etc. who need advanced degrees. Years ago you could get a bachelor's in PT and get a job, now you need a master's and people are saying in the next few years you will need a doctorate. I would recommend getting a recognized degree like speech therapy, OT, etc. and not just get certified in ABA.

And let's face it, you have to be pretty committed and a special kind of person to devote a career to working with autistic kids. Not everyone is cut out for that. I imagine it would be very hard and draining. It's not something to get into because you need a job quick.[/quote]
