Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 Bless you, Nuha! I live in Burlington, KY zip 41005. I found what you said about HFA vs LFA re ABA and floor time very interesting and informative, indeed! My son is HFA. He's very verbal, has fairly good eye contact, and can be very affectionate. However, he can't transition AT ALL, frequently gets stuck " I WANT A PICKLE NNNOOOOWWWW! " over and over and over again for 3 hours (and he doesn't even eat pickles), stims, stims, stims, and can't listen. You know.... I would be interested in anything you might be able to dig up in my area, Nuha. Thank you so much for your help! Kat SNIP...... Hi Kat I am doing floor time with my 34 months daughter through a graduate program at a local university here in my area > Its a speech clinic that is being run by speech grad students and they charge a fraction of what it would have cost us otherwise i highly recommend that you check the big universities in your area and call their speech Pathology clinics for a similar program... those who would offer the courses will offer the services as well They started using ABLC i think it stands for Affect based Language curriculum (I am not 100% sure) as a play based floor time speech therapy sessions and they are training me every session on how to do it so i can carry the skill in our daily routine Floor time is great for HFA children because they understand cause and affect while i found that ABA is better for LFA in some cases If you tell me your area maybe i can do some research and help you find a similar program to the one i am in and it will cost you much less write me off line if you wish Nuha Quote
