I am writing this as I have over recent times seen posts from people who seem to be using an ABA programme in not-dissimilar situations.
I have often seen comments here about the effectiveness of ABA. But for some reason, rather assumed that it would not be suitable for my son (too old? too able?). But would it help him / us? and if so where do we go for help?
He is nearly 7, academically very able and verbal. Mostly OK at home but struggling so badly in m/s school that his behaviour is unacceptable more often than anyone can keep putting up with. Without going into too much detail, I don't think the school can realistically do any better than they are.
We are really struggling identifying any suitable alternatives, and not even sure whom to turn to for advice.
I am wondering whether ABA (possibly home-based as 'home-ed' to start with) would be an appropriate way forward. Would ABA be suitable for us (conquer the unacceptable behaviour, and enable continuing learning)? where do we start? who do we contact? any other good ideas of any type?? we are at such a loss to know not just what to do for the best but also how to find out ....
apologies if this didn't make much sense, and many, many thanks
