Default Re: Airline Pilot and Child with Autism

cezzna, what do ABA and BCABA stand for?


(Side note since the topic of sign language came up earlier, my wife has had some great results with the Picture Exchange System (PECS) with some kids with autism that don't communicate verbally and exhibit high frustration and meltdowns, and she has been a big proponent of the system in the local special ed system. It is just one of many techniques that the pros use to help kids (and their parents) that have autism, and in some cases can be used instead of sign. Not advocating that you change the plan you're on, just listing some other options. Not all the speech paths are up to speed on PECS yet, so thought I'd mention it.)

And congrats on the new one JayAre!
