What would be a good handout on ABA to give to families of newly diagnosed ASD children?

[Guest guest]

Please excuse the crosspost, but I am trying to gather a reference list to give

to parents of newly diagnosed children...

Hi all,

I live in a state where early intervention rarely mentions ABA or EIBI if they

can avoid it. So there is a fair proportion of young ASD kids who are receiving

6-10 hours/week of generic special ed with a little speech thrown in, or a more

" intensive " program of the above with 5 hours per week of 1:1 DTT.

2 questions---

1. How did you find out about ABA/EIBI therapy as an option/choice for your

child?

2. If you wanted to give a newly diagnosed family something to read to let them

know the effectiveness of ABA for their child, what would that be?

For me it was " Let Me Hear Your Voice " , but there may be newer or more

persuasive writings and articles out there...

TIA---
