Hip Hip Hooray for ABA
Hey so our little man is going to start in-home ABA soon!!! We have completed all of our parent training classes (man it sucked getting up early but it only lasted 3 weekends in a row) and we got to spend time just together just hubby and I to and from class. The class was very informative and took common sense logic that applies to not just children but a lot of things in life but combined this logic in ways that made you go "hmm that will definitely work better this way". We have seen wonderful results when we stick to it with our daughter so far. It has been challenging with her lately. She has been very defiant and stubborn and has a huge attitude.It feels more like 7 going on 14 instead of going on 8. My little girl is growing up so fast but I want to curb this behavior before she reaches her teens and it becomes a bigger problem. We are hoping that spending more one on one time with her may help. I think that since her brother is getting so much attention with all his therapies and his illnesses having staph infections in his eczema etc is making her jealous. Her bipolar has been really having a toll on our school work lately. Hopefully the IEP meeting we have for her this month will get some good strategies in place and we can get more visual aids and different curriculum to work with. The time4learning.com is going great. We never did get compensated for our review as they indicate on the website (they state you get 1 month free or a $25 visa gift card for a review on their website) but we never got ours and haven't heard back from them. However my mother was nice enough to purchase a month for her so we can get her records still for work samples. We do like the site though and will keep it during the summer and into the fall.
