[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  The psych thinks ABA will help most with friendships/reading other people.  It can also help him with tantruming at home, apparently.   I agree, he needs something to help him.  We are all at a break point, especially with the tantrums.  Is ABA the best option or are there other approaches that we could explore.  I’m going to follow-up with the psych to get more detail.  I guess I’m just a little off put by the companies automatically telling me DC needs huge amounts of ABA each week without even meeting DC.  These recommendations were based off of a 3 sentence email request I sent asking for more info.  If we do what the ABA companies say, DC would be out of school half a day or in school and in ABA for almost 12 hours a day.  Neither is appropriate for an 8 year old who likes school (but admittedly has huge academic struggles that we are also addressing), in my opinion.  Again, I’m so new to this-I just want to hear how others have managed and what others have done.  [/quote]
