Applied Verbal Behavior Therapy

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

What is your take on the Verbal Behavior Therapy. My private speech therapist

suggested this for my son who is non-verbal (only sounds he makes is MMM and

AAHH). I thought this was suppossed to be for kids on the spectrum. I really

don't know maybe he is on the spectrum. I took him to a developmental

pediatrician who said he did not appear to be on the spectrum. I still wonder

though only because of his lack of wanting to attempt at any other sounds. He

gets very frustrated when pushed to try a sound. He is social, loves to play

with kids, has no stimming or repetitive actions. He just does not speak.....

It is so hard to take him to therapy when I know he is so frustrated and won't

attempt or maybe I should say can't attempt. He also of course has obvious oral

apraxia.

Have any of you tried this with your child? My ST said that the EI and his MA

will pay for this and now is a good time to put it in place. My son is 2.7 and

will transition to IU in December.
