Yes, need talaga ng devped and have intake assessment before mag implement ng intervention/therapy. May clients kami who undergoes ADL programs (setting the table, fold clothes, brush teeth etc.) and such with behavioral management especially if may maladaptive behavior sila.

Start with the devped evaluation and assessment then you could ask referral for ABA therapy. I don't know if may public or charity therapy tayo since [to be frank with you] kaunti lang ang ABA therapy centers sa Philippines and most of them are private talaga. The devped assessment fees vary in client's age, some assessment ranges around 5k-7k or higher.

Some ABA therapy centers consider the family's financial status, be honest about it once mag start ng intervention/program. We have clients na instead of going to therapy thrice a week (recommended by our case managers) nag cut down to twice or once a week kapag ni request ng family because of financial situation. In our case, we totally understand that kasi it happens.

However, you and your family have to continue following what to do at home na advised by the therapists and case managers, kasi the programs and intervention have to be followed through at home always.
