[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 608613, member: 11791"] ABA therapy is often used for kids on the autism spectrum. Maybe I just don't remember... but your boy has a list of dxes but not Aspie/Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)? Keep in mind that ADHD is "spectrumish"... as in, it's just a line in the sand of definitions, between "ADHD" and "Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)". They share some of the same family of traits, with ADHD generally not being as severe or complex. Executive function, organization, motor skills, sensory integration/processing, speech, auditory processing, etc. etc. etc. So... Given that your son has a number of separate challenges that are related to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)... and that ABA therapy is often used for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids... maybe it isn't such a strange fit after all? With the medical challenges, it might be a good opportunity to jump on every applicable form of therapy (without overloading his circuits...) - Occupational Therapist (OT), Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), ABA, and whatever else works.
