Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 <<I also do know Farb, to the person who asked, he is great. He is most definitely a behavior analyst and he works with a provate school with primarily Downs kids. He has many years of experience and studied with some of the best behavior analysts. >> So, how much does he know about autistic kids if he works primarily with Downs kids? This is what KILLS me about Calallen ISD. There are soooo many great BCBA's out there who work with AUTISTIC kids, why not hire one of those to work with AUTISTIC kids!!! Thanks for the info!!!

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Farb has the reputation of working with kids who have Downs, but my guess is that less than half of the students at the Arbor School have Downs. I visited the school several months ago, and there are lots of kids with other types of diagnoses there, including ASD. While there are some significant differences in the challegnes our ASD kids face, the principles of ABA are valid for teaching children with all types of disabilities (and those without any disability!). definitely understands the science of ABA. Just one conversation with him and you'll know what I mean. He lives, breathes, and talks ABA - which is why I had written in my previous post that he really loves what he does.
