Hi, I've just read about ABA, and am wondering if anyone can give me some more information on this. My son attends school 3 full days and 2 half days per week due to fatigue and pain linked to his Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. He gets very anxious at school and frustrated at how his body cannot work as he wants/needs it to. This leads to him hating school, and not being understood etc, etc.., could ABA help with this and assist his learning whilst at home/in hospital at all?
Any info would be great, thank you.x

my ds on aba, this wont really do what your ds needs. I think a clinical psychologist to help with the low esteem/confidence/school issues. ABA wont deal with your ds psychological issues iygwim and it sounds like these need to be addressed before looking at learning again in an educational environment.

you need a psychologist to work on self esteem sisues, not ABA .

CBT type stuff would work tho - there is CBt for children. ask GP to refer to child psychologist for support
