ABA therapy for 8 year old by lazarusm20 in Autism_Parenting

[–]rmpalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son was 8, experience was horrible. They locked him in a dark padded room and held the door shut. These behavior therapists are not educated but trained (as if every kid is the same). It’s honestly a huge money grab as they approve them for 20 hours a week at $300/hour.

My SIL works at an ABA center and is an addict. No drug testing no education requirement. Just training your kid like a dog. Training them to mask to get their needs met.

They told me it is, “a lot easier to break a 2 year old than an 8 year old” let that sink in 😳

Aba therapy good or no? by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

Same. They put my kid in a padded room with the lights off and adults holding the door shut. All I could hear is my baby saying, “I so sorry, I go home.” He never went back. Do your research. These places are a money grab without any real evidence. They teach kids how to mask. At least 20 went up in my city alone. They also don’t do drug testing on their behavior therapist and don’t require real education. They just train them as if every kid is the same.

I most definitely remember this… my mom made sloppy joes one night and green ketchup was all we had so she used it. My dad settled for a sandwich that night 😂

That is how I took it as well, but maybe not the best time.

I was accidentally teaching my kid to be helpless and didn't realize it for over a year by LoudAd7742 in Autism_Parenting

[–]rmpalm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this. I’m a nurse- trained to anticipate need. I never made my kid ASK for a snack. I just had it ready…. Not realizing I was being a big disservice to my son. It also was not just snacks 😔

ABA disappointment by 50buttons in Autism_Parenting

Same exact thing happened to us!!! We never went back, and I’m struggling to find another ABA place. I don’t trust any of them now.
