what I do

More children are diagnosed with autism all the time. Currently the rate is at 1 in every 110 children that are diagnosed with autism. In response, companies have come up with a variety of different methods to help these children learn. I have been trained by one of these companies in ABA therapy and have been working as an early intervention therapist for nearly a year. Early intervention therapy just means that I work with children less than 3 years old. The ABA therapy that I learned is a combination of Discrete Trial Training (DTT) and behavioral techniques geared towards helping children gain well rounded skills for adapting to our society. I understand that this particular method may not be exactly what everyone seeks for their child, but it is the method I have learned and for the purpose of assimilation, I have seen great success. What I wanted to achieve in this blog was to share some of the experiences and in particular, the breakthroughs, that I have had with my clients. I hope that through sharing some of my experiences, I can help individuals connect to children with autism as well as learn from others along the way.
