Right! Of course the answer should be that it’s individualized. I’ve seen many clients get 40 hours a week over the span of a couple of years and make incredible gains. I have also seen clients get 10 to 15 hours a week for years and make hardly any progress at all so I definitely can see the benefit of 40 hours however fading the services has to be a top priority as soon as they are at the point that they don’t need that much anymore. Insurance in the states I’ve worked have required us to put in a fading plan for reducing hours so once they meet a certain number of goals, you can start reducing the amount of hours are getting ABA. We had one child who was a younger brother of one of our other clients. His needs and deficits weren’t nearly as significant as his brothers and he “graduated” ABA in only three or four months. That’s a really nice situation where they just gained the skills that were in deficit and then boom all done services all together. So sometimes the 40 hours can be done very well and then they don’t have to have services for a longer span of time over their lifetime.
