Re: Autism Specialist/Consulant ?

[Guest guest]

It will be easier for people on the list to make a recommendation if

they know the general area you're in. Also, unless your school is

asking for the assistance, they may not be real willing for an

" outsider " to come in and give advice.

Our child just recently got a diagnoses from the School District of

PDD/Autism. He will be 6 in September. He will be going to

Kindergarten. My Questions are do you know of any Autism

Specialist/Consulant that we can have come out to our home and to the

school our son will be going to help guide us and his teacher's to what

all we need to do to make sure he is getting what he needs and getting

the right treatment and education.

Thank you!

Have a great day! : )

We live in Seguin Tx. What are our options for help at home and school?

[Guest guest]

I would suggest you find a behavior analyst (www.bacb.com), click on

consumer

and look for the behavior analyst list--you need to find a BCBA (board

certified

behavior analyst.) Be warned that just like every profession, different

BCBAs have different areas of focus--

some have more experience with younger kids

some work more with severe behavior problems,

some will have more experience with severe SIBs

some work more with early word learners (less than 30 spoken words)

some work better with kids who are already speaking

some have a psychological background

some have a special ed background

and there are more. You need to be an informed consumer and

get a BCBA who will approach things in a way that you will

be able to follow through with.

Also, depending on where you are, you can get help from the

Brent Woodall foundation. They have offices in houston and dallas.

I live in the Dallas area, but grew up in Seguin. I'll do my best to

find out anything I can about local resources. How old is your child?

Have you checked into Austin/San resources? As someone else

recommended, go to the BCBA web site and search for one in the area.

Also, I will be down in the Seguin area in a couple of weeks to

visit my family. (As I said in my other e-mail, I live in

Southlake, but grew up in Seguin.) I would love to have lunch with

you if you need someone just to talk with.

I have two great people in mind for you. THey are great working with

families. They are most definitely family oriented and not school

oriented, which I think is good. One lives in Austin and one in the Dallas

area. Where do you live?

We live in the Mineral Wells Independent School District. We are located about

50 minutes west of Fort Worth. Although we bare the majority of the ABA work

and the expense, our local school system has hired our analyst on a limited

basis as a consultant to assist setting up the classroom experience for our son.

I realize that this is pretty unusual. The local special education department

has cooperated in many respects.
