ABA therapy in London

Kish

Dear all 

My 4 year old daughter is autistic and I am looking for a ABA therapist around East London. 

Time is running and I am lost. Don't know how to help her. 

Any recommendations will be great. 

Many thanks 

Parents

  • Not to be rude, but you could help her more by not getting her ABA. It SIGNIFICANTLY increases the risk of the child getting PTSD, due to the quite cruel, largely unregulated, and intrusive nature of the therapy.

    It's also hit and miss. So you could be left with a psychologically and mentally damaged child, plus empty pockets and nothing to show for it.

    I'd keep well clear for everyone's sake.

    Thank you very much for sharing this information. I will check the link you gave. I can trust your advice more than people try to sell ABA therapy. 

    As a parent what should I do. Just wait or any thing you recommend. 

    ( she is starting reception next month in a main stream school. )

    No problem whatsoever. There have been a few threads about ABA and some of the other dodgy "therapies" that are popping up since autism has been realised to be a relatively untapped revenue stream. If you put ABA into the search bar on here there is quite a lot of information.

    I'd wait get in touch with your local Autism Charity and see what they advise. It most likely won't be ABA. It's quite frowned on in the UK by the autistic community. The damage it's done in the US is well documented.
