Angelina has been with ABA Therapy for almost 5 years and I am so happy for all the improvements that she has made. When she was diagnosed with autism, every doctor I have seen told me that ABA therapy is an important factor with an autistic child. When she started I honestly thought that maybe it wasn't that important, but as time passed by I saw her improvements. An ABA therapist knows how to control their behaviors and redirect them in ways that transition them to other steps in their development.
My daughter is may be in biomedical treatments, but the first thing that her biomed doctor told us is to please "Continue with ABA therapy and be aggressive with it". He wanted Angelina to continue with her behavioral therapy and that it is an important factor for her development. My daughter has been with biomedical treatment for months now and it has come to a turning point that she is realizing things more. By her realizing things more, she knows how to dominate people and has develop an attitude in the process. Her biomed doctor laughed when I told him this, but he said that his laugh is a great sign of progress from my daughter.
My daughters ABA therapy company reduced my daughter's hours which made me very concern. I now learned that the best way of getting your point across and of communication is to "be straight to the point". The reason why I say that is because nobody will read your mind, you have to be your child's voice and advocate for them.
