[Guest guest]

Hello.

He has been attending The Parish School for the past two years, started just

before his second birthday. And we have had a home ABA program going

simultaneously.

The Parish School is in Houston, Texas, approximately at the corner of Kirkwood

and I-10. They are a school for children with language learning differences.

They are not a PDD school, like Westview School in Houston. They will only

accept

a child without behavior issues or stims. They do not do ABA...we did that

privately in the afternoons and weekends, but they are a good language

preschool,

though quite costly and not covered by insurance.

, can I ask where in TX you are? I am just now starting to set up an

in-home ABA system for my son and am a little lost.....I have contacted the

local community college...I am in Kingwood, a suburb of Houston, a long ways

from any big Univ. or Med center. I need some help finding teachers.

Thanks!

In terms of treatment for children with PDD or Autism, it usually refers fo an

intensive !:! training regimen (typically 20-40 hrs a week) that is developed,

implemented, monitored and constantly evaluated and updated for the individual

child using the principles and techniques of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

(Lovaas' Discrete Trial Training is one form of this intensive mode of

treatment.) Research suggests that the greatest likely benefit can be expected

when it is begun in early childhood (preferably by age 3) and continued for a

few years. This is probably (partly) because that with some children it helps

them to develop the abilities necessary to come under the natural social

reinforcement of their peers and the natural environment at an early enough age

that they can begin to develop pretty normally. This is not to say that older

children could not benefit, but the effects would not generally be as

dramatic..Applied Behavior Analysis is actually a field of study which

emphasizes empirical methods in the study and treatment of behavior and which

utilizes principles and techniques supported by basic and applied research. B.F.

Skinner is considered the founder of this field of study.
