Explain ABA Tutoring to me please?

[confuseddotcodotuk]

I am just wondering what it is, how to get into it and so on. I want to work with kids in their home environment and am looking for nanny work at the moment, but someone has recently mentioned looking at becoming an ABA Tutor to me and I'm generally curious. It was mentioned to me last year and I couldn't find much information on it, I was offered a position of somethign I think is similar at a nursery before (working one-on-one with a child on the autistic spectrum) and they told me they'd train me how to do it but I ended up gettign a different job as they couldn't get the funding for him to have this.

So, what is ABA Tutoring, do you need specific qualifications for it or is it something you can learn as you go? Can you get qualifications for it? How can you get into it?

Ask this on the SN children page. It's much more likely to get more replies as it's much busier there. Lots of posters with ABA knowledge. Just not me!

Thank you :)

As far as I am aware ABA tutoring is a way to model behaviour to children on the spectrum. I have a friend who is doing that with her son who is recently diagnosed and seems to be getting huge improvements. She has a very set routine and it works great with him.
