Re: What would be a good handout on ABA to give to families of newly diagnosed A

[Guest guest]

We were handed a copy of a few chapters from:

Behavioral Intervention for Young Children With Autism: A Manual for

Parents and Professionals

by Maurice (Editor), Green (Editor), C. Luce

(Editor)

by a sympathetic school employee.

standard services for under 3 y.o here are 1 hour each of SLP and

play. We got 15 hours ABA/VB w/o mediation, due process or anything.

(before everyone tells me that isn't enough, we suplement to 20+ hours)

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.
