Re: [AutismMiddleSchool] Home ABA for middle schooler

[Guest guest]

and group,

My 13YO seventh grader has about ten hours per week. In Wi,kids with autism

get intensive hours--35 per week--for a couple of years. After that they can

get about seven hours per week as long as you can get a provider to support your

home program.

[AutismMiddleSchool] Home ABA for middle schooler

Hi list

Just had an exhausting IEP meeting and would like to see if there is any

information out there to support having some home programming for a child

who is in middle school. The consultant hired by the district kept

talking about it being " unusual " and of course I wanted to bite him! Here

is a guy I know started out doing home programs for families and now is

helping a district keep us from having some home ABA! All I want is a few

hours a week for some more intensive social skills training.........not

asking for a 40 hour DTT program! I am in school and I work, my husband

works and we have two other kids, one who also has a disability, so as

much as I would love to implement it and run it myself, I cannot. Anyone

have some advice or documentation or anything?? Thanks in advance!
