Parental Choice & Autism Treatment : ABA It is also unbelievably expensive to get trained in something that seems to be a combination of floortime and RDI.  Talked to a mom last night who was doing it and I'm just FLOORED at how much she is paying to get "trained" to do something I did for free with my little one by studying a book I bought for twenty bucks.Everyone has to do what works for their families.  ABA maybe a godsend to some, and other programs to others.< http-equiv="Content-" content="text/; charset=utf-8">< name="ProgId" content="Word.">< name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12">< name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 12">< http-equiv="Content-" content="text/; charset=utf-8">< name="ProgId" content="Word.">< name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12">< name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 12"> This is the second ABA vs.The Son-Rise Program video, part of a multi-video campaign intended to raise awareness of alternatives in treatment for children with autism. This one focuses on Parental Choice.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRZqOro8dmo   As hoped, the first video on Joining (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6CWf9H7F8k) has playfully provoked refreshing debate, passion, and thoughtfulness about the different ways of helping children with Autism.    This next video in the series encourages parents to learn about the alternatives to traditional mainstream treatments such as ABA as the standard default program for their children. It highlights that children are unique and as such, respond to being holistically treated as individuals. Parents do have a choice that approaches children with autism as more than clinical cases. The Son-Rise Program® is non-invasive and based on a loving and respectful treatment for children and adults challenged by Autism, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), Asperger's Syndrome , and other developmental difficulties. The Son-Rise Program approach teaches acceptance and joyfully joining in the child’s own behaviors to stimulate true connection and thereby motivate change. It offers an exciting alternative to traditional ABA approaches. With the video clip at the link above, based on the popular “Mac vs. PC” commercials, we have created a playful way to highlight the differences in our programs for families who are trying to decide which therapeutic approach to take for their child with Autism. The 80-second video, the second in a short series, shows that there are alternatives to the ABA method that parents may want to consider.
