 Rating:  - I saved $60,000My son was a late talker, labelled PDD at age 3. I couldn't afford the $60,000 to send him to an ABA school. His speech teacher allowed me to copy her PECS pictures, and I "showed" my son how to talk!!! You see, maybe many kids labelled autistic are visual learners...who need to be "shown" how to talk rather than "told". Maybe many mothers pick up on this naturally, but I didn't.

As before, this family of disorders is addressed straight-on. The need for empircally-validated treatments is explained and real-life instruction is provided. The chapter on speech is as good as I've seen. Rating:  - ABA is NOT the only choiceI'm amazed at the negative remarks from some of the authors of this book in regards to using any other form of intervention for autistic children. There is research on other interventions that ABA people don't seem to accept. My grandson who is autistic has greatly improved his speech and social interaction with dietary intervention! ABA is an important choice that can be made but NOT to the exclusion of biologically based interventions. There are helpful articles in this book if you want to try ABA but it ... Read More
