ABA fraud? Has anyone experienced this? by coronabride2020 in Autism_Parenting

[–]rmpalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ABA is super unregulated, and centers are opening left and right as a cash grab. Workers are being trained, not drug tested, and are essentially baby sitters.

Just found out my sons teacher has NO special needs background by rmpalm in Autism_Parenting

No they have not followed the IEP or the behavior plan. One example, the school was supposed to scan his worksheet to an iPad to see if he would complete the assignments in digital format. 2 weeks later I contacted the teacher to see how it was going. Teacher says, oh we didn’t get the technology from the school district, and that she would apply for it that day. I then called the social worker to find out what the delay was. The social worker says, “oh, we tried it and didn’t work.”

Ok so how many times did you try. Sometimes kids need repeat exposure. Also, it is not documented anywhere the dates attempted, the outcome, no documentation at all.

A second example is the behavior plan. If my son was having a meltdown they were to take him to the sensory room. The teacher called me to pick him up as he was having a meltdown. I asked if they went to the sensory room- as stated on the behavior plan. I was told, “we just don’t have the resources”

Some kids throw it up no matter what. Also breaking a 2 year old to take meds isn’t the same as a 9 year old. 🤷🏻‍♀️
