What is ABA Therapy?
ABA, stands for " Applied Behavior Analysis"
Some of you may have seen or herd of the story on WFive about Carly Fleischmann.
Carly is a 13 year old girl living with Autism spectrum disorder. Carly Fleischmann is unable to speak a single syllable. But two years ago, she defied the odds and started typing words with the help of specialized computer software.
This is largly due to the fact that she has been getting ABA for many years now. The therapy includes a team of 12 part-time therapists working in shifts, and amounts to about 40 hours a week...
Do you know what this even costs??????????
Between $80,000.00 and $100,000.00 per year.
Here are some links that will fill you in with more info as to what if anything our country is doing for these children.
As well, more links related to ABA!!!
