links or help re ABA in HFA

[raspberryroop]

Have a ds13 high IQ - social skills of a brick - has anyone tried ABA for social skills in HFA? or do you know of any links for any research or info. Thanks

Looking forward to reading it Moondog, blog sound like a brilliant idea!

Wilson, I plan to set up a website in the New Year sometime so should be able to do this.
My personal circumstances have changed a bit (for the better) so I shouldhave some more time for this.
I'm glad you've found my posts useful. The days of relying on public sector workers to answer all our needs and questions are numbered.

As an aside, I can highly recommend this book I am currently reading

Controversial Therpaies for Developmental Disabilities: Fad, Fashion and Science in Professional Practice

Amongst other things, some excellent critiques of 'Sensory Integration Therapy' and 'Auditory Integration Therapy'.

Hi all and moondog. I am still very interested in this if you are still planning it. I really need to look into therapies and help now for ds just need to work out where to start.

I'm not far from Brum Leonie, and DS is HFA and I want to find more about ABA to help him with, well, where to start? All help gratefully received Moondog.

Moondog - would definitely be interested and would go wherever you hold conference!

Really great to hear from all you people still popping up.
It will be done and we should all be able to help each other go from strength to strength.

Moondog...another one who would be interested in your research/website. But also would not be in position to travel- webinar?DVD?

I'll look into all of this Wanna.
I know it could be hard for some people.

Moondog, at the risk of sounding creepy I would also go wherever you held a conference. It would be lovely to meet the others too.

Pls put my name down moondog am interested as well thanks

Not creepy Star!
I'd love to meet you all at last too!
Together we could all be so strong I feel.

I'd be really interested in this too

And me!

I'd be interested too, I'm in Eire but would try to make it over.

DD2 has AS, and I'm looking into ABA to help with social/emotional/behavioural issues.
