When Lexi was first diagnosed, as a special education teacher, Elissa knew the importance of intervention and therapy right away. It may come as no surprise that she was met with some hurdles and outrageously long waitlists. Elissa was able to secure limited early intervention and is just about to start ABA services. I have done several podcasts about finding ABA therapy and what to look for and we talk a bit about that today. When you have an approach that is working, it is important to stick to that even if it’s not what your ABA provider typically does. Become an advocate for your child and therapy that works.
Elissa is intent on working hard with her daughter and keeping the whole family involved. Her self-care tip is to prioritize after bedtime unwinding with your spouse, as a child free time to communicate. This is a great story and I am excited to see more progress with Lexi. I hope others can gain some insight from these tips, tricks, and advice with a family that is just starting the Turn Autism Around Approach. You can access the free book resources, assessments, and the first two chapters by heading to TurnAutismAround.com.
