Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 My son, age 3 1/2, was recently diagnosed with PDD, with the likely outcome of Asperger's. The psychiatrist who made the diagnosis is urging us to have him work with an ABA counselor, preferably one with dual training in " floor time " therapy. He referred us to an ABA counselor, but our sense from speaking with this person was that this was more tailored to kids with more intense autism. The ABA counselor tells us that she works generally a minimum of 15 hours per week with kids, and often works full time with kids. The price tag is astounding: $65,000 per year for a full time counselor!! Does anyone have any experience with ABA counseling? Is this an appropriate type of counseling for an Asperger's kid? Thank you. Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
