, I don't think you will be able to get any behavioral

intervention,like ABA - since that is what your interestsed in, until

you get an official diagnosis of Autism/PDD FIRST from a qualified

neurologist experienced in this area. After getting the diagnosis,

you can call a meeting with the school and modify your IEP. Of

course, it depends on what area of the country you live in. Things

are different everywhere, from school district to school district.

Check with other moms in your area who are going through the same

thing so they can advise you. Try to attend some parent training on

the subject offered by your local school district and network with

other parents. They will direct you accordingly. Good luck. Rose
