ABA,DIR,DRA...and decisions

The treatment therapy we have decided to go with for Elijah is the ABA. http://autism.about.com/od/alllaboutaba/a/abaoverview.htm

Please check out the link for a better explanation of ABA, i have decided not to write about it myself, because we have yet to enter Elijah into a ABA program. Elijah needs the structure. The ABA style is more conducive to our parenting style. IT asks something of the child and it is expected to get a response. The other style of therapy is DIR or DRA..these are child led therapy's...the instructor follows the child around and if he say, picks up a fork..they will say "that's a fork Elijah" "this is what we do with a fork" this style of therapy is based on trying to build relationships. Elijah doesn't have a problem with loving and being loved. He understands this. WE have decided this is not the most important therapy he needs. He needs the structure.  I cant say that enough. The company we are going to go with has a curriculum, and we will have team meetings 2xs a month. Everything is well charted and documented. I have to admit that appeals to my over charting and overlisting ways. I can see how the therapy's can work or different types of personality's. If you have a child who is weak in emotional and attachment issues i can see the DRA therapy being appropriate. I wouldn't judge a parent for choosing a different style than i do..for each child is different. Elijah's weaknesses needs the ABA system i believe. I have been told it will be very hard on him at first. I am to expect allot of tempers (nothing new) and the amount of therapy will be hard. but nothing has come easy in this journey. I am excited to start this new chapter. I have one more company to interview next week..they offer both therapy's. And then the intensive therapy begins. eeeeekkk!
