Thank you. That was interesting.

Thanks!! !!I live in MN,about 20 miles from this place.I have a lot of "reservations" about ABA therepy,but want to learn more about it.From an emotional perspective of some one with AS....the procedure LOOKS like torture, but I really need to understand it better to make a rational/reasoning assesment of its effectiveness and helpfulness for autistics.The same is true of sensory therepies.I do think there needs to be some balance between creating an environment that is "sensory friendly" and one that will allow the individual to function in the real world.

I may apply for a job here,just to understand what is really going on in these environments.

Thanks for the link.
