Following on from all the fantastic stories on another thread about how effective ABA has been, I was just wondering if anyone had any experience of using it for a child who is not autistic but has moderate learning disabilities?
I'm just wondering if it would be suitable for my 3.5 year old DD - she has a global development delay but not autism. She is operating at the 18 month to 28 month level - her profile is quite spiky and she scores higher on speech and communication than her gross and fine motor skills, although both are still significantly delayed. She also has a very low attention span, always flitting from one thing to the next which impedes her learning.
Assuming ABA would be suitable can anyone recommend a practitioner in or near Newcastle upon Tyne?
