Proof that ABA works

A little over a week ago, we had B evaluated by another autism therapy provider. We are required to do an external evaluation annually to show our funding company the results (from someone other than the team we are paying). It takes a few weeks to get the report but I can say that the results were very positive. B has made some very big gains particularly in language. His receptive language went from that of a 3 month old to THIRTY months in one year! And his expressive language went from the equivalent of a 10-month old to 27 months. This stuff really works.

And, as further proof, here is a video taken yesterday of B singing the ABCs and one taken just over a year ago. He is so much clearer now. We're hoping to add speech therapy into the mix here soon and see if we can keep bumping him up.
