This is not uncommon, as while in-home ABA has many benefits, group instruction or peer interaction typically are not possible.<br />This means that you may need to teach/target classroom skills separately from what is worked on at home. This also is not unusual, many of my clients work on very different kinds of goals in the school setting than they do at home.<br /><br />I can't address your other questions without working with your child personally, but I would suggest discussing how exactly to program for these issues with the ABA team/BCBA.Tameika Meadows, BCBA, Blog Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008810597417201971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-910085778879504657.post-12622311086755705412017-03-21T22:02:49.157-04:002017-03-21T22:02:49.157-04:00My 4 year old is highly compliant at home, and is ...My 4 year old is highly compliant at home, and is very academically advanced in comparison to his peers. Highly verbal, conversational, etc. Basically, there is not much to teach him at home 1:1 because he has covered all goals very far ahead.<br /><br />Yet, in typical school setting, his days look like he is unable to participate in group setting very well. He still stands up during circle time to walk around, and he needs direct prompts to join group of kids, and to follow to routine. One side is he is very fidgety and can't sit still, but also socially anxious from the crowd of kids. <br /><br />So his social/group experience looks like someone trying to dip his leg into the lake, but constantly pulling back because he is worried the water is too cold. <br /><br />How critical is to have a 4 year old ASD child sit and participate in circle time? Or is peripheral exposure beneficial? In other words, do we need a specific circle time program, or let him test on his own terms?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
