Our son Macs was diagnosed with autism at the age of
three. We noticed some of the signs at age two
(his lack of interaction with others as well as his nonverbal
behavior); however, the process of getting officially diagnosed
in the UK was a very lengthy and difficult process. After doing
research and getting advice, we saw a friend whose son had autism
and was being treated by Autism Partnership and were impressed by
the approach.
Our son was diagnosed with autism a month shy of his 3rd birthday
(2007). He was experiencing challenges in social settings,
specifically peer interactions and classroom readiness skills
(sitting, raising his hand, self control, etc.) We had reviewed
different treatment programs and based on the scientific
evidence, we felt Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) would be the
most effective treatment for our son. A friend and
colleague referred us to Autism Partnership to provide
consultative and supervisory support to our home based ABA
program.
As the alarm rings, Jake awakes from his deep sleep, and thinks
to himself, “It’s just too early to get up, I just need 10 more
minutes.” Like most teenagers, Jake rolls over, hits the
snooze button, and goes back to sleep. Thirty minutes
later, Jake reluctantly rolls out of bed, hops into the shower,
and gets ready for the day. After a quick breakfast, Jake
is off to school. As he leaves the house, his mother tells
him that he needs to come directly home after school because he
has sailing practice. He hops on his bike and rides to
Nobel Middle School.
To explore possible enrollment in any of our ABA programs,
complete the Request for Services form and submit it to our
office. This allows our clinical staff to quickly gather
information about your child or teen so we can efficiently answer
your questions and give you a recommendation on which services
should be provided to meet your child’s individualized needs.
