Is not Lovaas'...ABA with PLAY BASED learning...<br /><br />Is not Lovaas' ABA. It is another "mash" of step by step teaching followed by Floortime.<br /><br />Everyone learns step by step.... Which is what ABA is... break a task into steps and teach it. What did they do for speech and language teaching?? Sensory issues?? Did they use Hanen or make children repeat after repeat after repeat use the correct PEC or word to label something??<br /><br />ABA ranges from that 35hr/wk horror we had to Ont's PPM 140... <br /><br />What was this one?????????? I have never seen a study where ABA is actually described in full, where one program is put up against another, these "ABA's" are as different as the practitioner beside them. CARD's program is getting good results. What was the level of Autism in these children before it started??? What was their level of speech and language difficulty??<br /><br />We use "ABA" (step by step) every day. We use PPM 140 at school. We use "play based" therapy every day. We use "Hanen" every day. We've even applied to the ACS program and hope to atleast make the waitlist - a year. We have words... we have joint attention and we even have.. forgot the word but when he goes to one and then the other if he doesn't get... it's in Engaging Autism (Floortime).. But even in NT children it doesn't get mastered until 8 and we've just started and we're nearly 9... so only a small delay...<br /><br />Would probably be the same "program" CARD uses... Think?? And yes, our growth in learning and speech is amazing.farmwifetwonoreply@blogger.com
