Hi all
My daughter goes to a mainstream private day care for mornings.
We are starting home-based ABA soon. She isn't verbal yet. Her sessions will be 4 mornings and 3 afternoons. If they allow the shadow then great if not, then I don't mind at this stage. I am still waiting to hear. If this means she goes fewer mornings to the day care we don't mind(initially).
She gets portage and NHS SALT services in the day care. Those will now have to come home because the senco will say that the child isn't in the setting enough hours for them to work on. I asked my portage worker if she had heard of ABA and she said yes. She is looking to train in ABA too. Should I tell her we are doing aba? Or keep it quiet till we see results? Would her senco, salt, key worker, portage worker feel cheated or hold resentment when I tell them later(I'll have to eventually inform them if I want to continue ABA in the setting, which we will definitely have to). Just now the reason I can give the nursery is that we want her to spend time with us at home.
What if I jeopardise the whole thing by telling them now and they pull away whatever support I am getting?
The diagnosis process is underway. I don't want to rock the boat.
What are your views? Apologies if my post is a bit all over the place!
