9:20 Is it true that ABA grooms children to be taken advantage of by would-be molesters?

21:39 How do you decide school vs ABA?

28:22 My daughter is in school full-time. no aba available due to schedule . Is it possible for me to develop our own "aba" is type program for us to do on weekends and evenings?

34:30 Is it best to work with one ABA therapist even if they can't provide 40 hrs a week or can you combine two different ABA agencies to get the full program?

47:43 We are struggling to find a provider that will work with a 10 yr old. He still has a lot to work on according to SKILLS.

50:24 How can we argue and state our case that our child still needs ABA after 6 months of 35 hours per week? What can we do to get the insurance company to approve another 6 month extension? 5 year old Child has lots and lots of repetitive behaviors and restrictive routine habits. What can we do?

54:25 We are in the process of getting our son evaluated. We've had multiple people say they think he's on the spectrum, but his teachers don't think so. Speech is delayed, nearly 6 years old but seems like he's more 3-4. While his teachers are very supportive of us and him, he is struggling. Any suggestions?

55:52 I'm an RBT who has been in the field for 3 years. How would you to discuss with parents how to help them see need of waiting out on crying in order to have them appropriately mand for their needs?

58:30 What ACC option do you recommend for first time users?

Hi and thank you for your valuable information. For a non verbal child, who currently communicates with word aproximations and guestures such as pointing. Would you consider Pecs/speech chat/dynavox? I'm not sure what would be our best first ACC option.

1:01:08 How to increase awareness in a 9 years old so he begin saying Hi and goodbye?
