[QUOTE="Renea, post: 617463, member: 13180"] Hmm.. I haven't heard of aba being used for speech but I'm sure it's possible. Aba is supposed to be used to modify behavior, which is what we need at the moment. I've just always thought of it as a very early childhood intervention type of thing. I didn't even know they offered it for kids around my son's age until a few days ago. A friend of mine has a six year old child in aba and she shared with me that my son could easily qualify to be seen there. I'm just not sure if it's worth it since he isn't "little" anymore and I'm not sure if he will get anything out of it. None of my son's therapist have been specifically geared towards autism. I haven't even seen anyone in our area who only works with autism spectrum kids. We aren't in a big city, so we take what we can get. Aba is geared towards kids on the spectrum, so that's another reason I'm considering it. [/QUOTE]
