Impressions of site

I would like to say that I love this site.  I am an Autism Certificate student and a Behavioral Therapist and I thought the therapies and treatments discussed on the site were very comprehensive and unbiased.  It's very difficult to find an unbiased, straight forward website in the autism community. 

Because I am an ABA therapist, I payed most attention to that aspect.  I really liked how the hours, costs and data were presented.  The only thing I didn't see were sources.   I also am a believer in the biomedical treatments out there for children with autism.  For the most part, the diets and supplements recommended are not harmful and would only benefit the child.  But because autism is a SPECTRUM disorder, not every treatment is going to work for every child, but it's worth a try! 

 All around, I really liked the site and thought it was very comprehensive and a very good resource for parents and caregivers.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

I would like to encourage you and others to please make recommendations for ABA sources. One place you could put the information is here: http://autism.healingthresholds.com/wiki/aba. Just click the edit button and add your recommendations. You can't break the site!

Many parents email me directly asking for recommendations for ABA programs. The only think I know to recommend is the ABA portal (the link is in the ABA portion of the wiki). Anything you can add to the page would be very helpful. Also, any personal suggestions you can add for a parent searching for an ABA provider.
