A friend needs helps with others experience with Lovaas/DTT

[Guest guest]

Hi! I have a friend with a very verbal 5.5 year old son who has been

in a traditional Lovaas-type program for about 2 years. Her son has

made some wonderful progress, but she is considering a change as his

speech is not as spontaneous as it could be. She is looking for some

guidance from the group and she has asked me to post the following.

Please reply directly to Donna. Thanks in advance!

Has anyone used either the New Jersey Institute or Childhood

Learning Center (Dr. ) to run their child's discrete program?

If so, can you please e-mail me privately with positive/negative

comments?

Also, is anyone still running a discrete program, but adding

Carbone's method of teaching intraverbal skills? If so, how is it

going? What's more effective (discrete or Carbone's way of

teaching). Can you still do both, or do you have to pick one?

Please let me know. Thank you.
