Last Saturday my brother in law came to talk to me about how good you are and that you have an Autistic son just like mine. My son Lucas was diagnosed with autism last year, and I wanted to ask you what your opinion is on ABA therapy vs the Son-Rise method. Thank you so much, and like always, you are the best! – Marta
Marta, thank you for your kind words. I have to say that I believe ABA therapy has had the best success in treating autistic children, especially very early on. The data on ABA is quite strong, and the majority of doctors around the country who work with autistic children are more experienced with ABA therapy.
