I've seen some knowledgeable people here and I'm wondering if they could tell me if ABA could help my DS. He has high-functioning autism, copes very well in mainstream school with no assistance but has problems when it comes to sports. I bring him to gymnastics every week. its a small group of 9 kids ranging from 12 down to 5. DS will do his running but not stretching and will then only take part in the parts of class that he likes. Yesterday he had a meltdown as I wouldn't let him wander playing with a ball as there was someone older working on high bar and another group of girls working on another piece. He screamed the place down when I took him back to the door as he was a danger to himself and others and then screamed again when the class finished as he said he really did want to take part in what the others were doing.
Anyway, could ABA help him become more motivated to be involved in the class. I came home in tears for the 2nd time from gym, I stay and supervise him as I'm also a coach (for kinder and mother and toddler groups) and all my kids have been involved in the club for year. Sorry this is so long but I really need ideas, thanks.
