We always love hearing from members of our online course and community who have found success in our programs. Marie L. is the mother of two children diagnosed with autism. I am so thankful for her willingness to share her story and even videos with our community, which impact a lot of lives.

Finding Therapy During Covid

Marie’s son was only mid-way through Kindergarten when the COVID-19 shutdown occurred. Like many moms, she sought out resources to support and help her child. Marie was familiar with The Verbal Behavior Approach before this at her doctor’s advice to help her son potty train in preparation for Kindergarten. As a parent, you are your child’s lifelong teacher and advocate. School and therapists will come and go, and Marie’s story proves just how important it is to be a Gung Ho Parent. Not only has Marie’s hard work helped her son but it has greatly helped her older daughter who was diagnosed with autism at age 9, as she was able to develop specific programming for her needs based on my approach.

Homeschooling and Autism

After the COVID-19 shutdown, Marie’s son attended an ABA clinic full-time instead of traditional school, but in October of 2021, when she felt he was ready to resume school the system failed him. There was a lack of communication and no transition plan to help acclimate him and prevent aggressive behaviors. Marie chose to homeschool her son and keep putting to work her knowledge from our online course and community. It’s important to remember there are legal obligations for transition plans and assistance for special needs students. If you don’t have the option to homeschool your child there are options and you may need an advocate.

Making Gains with Our Online Course and Community

With over 300 words, an abundance of new self-care skills, new tolerance for outings, and other small gains, Marie is helping her son become safe, independent, and happy. Many times we focus on speech and other verbal operants, but it is just as important if not more to focus on skills needed for daily life like brushing teeth, helping around the house, and going to church, the doctors, and the barber.

I have many courses available to suit your family’s needs that can make a difference, including our new School Age course and the Train the Trainer course. Be sure to check them out and see how you can get joined up, we’d love to have you as part of our course and community!
