I would really like to know if Ms Dawson has had ANY first hand direct experience of ANY kind with ABA.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately the CBC and other media promote her views, to the detriment of autistic children.<BR/><BR/>HaroldAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05838571980003579163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-29681678030357785302008-11-25T11:11:00.000-04:002008-11-25T11:11:00.000-04:00Hi Harold,My son also exhibits the same results as...Hi Harold,<BR/><BR/>My son also exhibits the same results as Conor from ABA. Actually before ABA and after shows a much happier boy after. ABA has taught our son how to ask for what he wants and participate in school (JK) and play with other kids. Before ABA his behavior was often times quite "off the chart" and self injury was common. All these issues disappeared when, via ABA teaching, he learned to communicate and engage socially. Our son looks forward to his ABA sessions, even asks for more and has bonded with his therapist team as close as family. <BR/><BR/>I guess Ms. Dawson sees happy as abuse. I honestly do not know why Ms. Dawson holds such views and I pity such a limited world view. Apparently happy is defined differently where Ms. Dawson is, and that is sad. Perhaps ABA as our sons have experienced can make her life better. ABA research has shown that the methods are effective for any age.<BR/><BR/>Barry<BR/>Father the Barry II, age 4, ASDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
