Can Occupational Therapy Help With Potty Training ?
Potty training ugh!

Has Anyone's Child Had Major Behavioral Issues After Starting ABA, Or Any Other New Therapy?
My grandson started ABA, speech and occupational therapy for 40 hours last week. He has become very aggressive, difficult, and resistant to being touched, which were not issues before he began. Are these symptoms red flags that the therapy may be too aggressive for him?
They have to be scheduled and I did observe one session. He did respond well..but that was only one session and it did not include transition which is a problem for him.

I also used to have more activities and toys for them than I do now. What solutions can others recommend?? aside from medication (that's not a viable option).

Daycare For Autistic Toddler
My oldest son just got diagnosed with autism he’s 3 years old. I’ve had to constantly pick him up from daycare only after i started receiving subsidy for it. They keep telling me he’s a safety hazard to the other children and teachers when he has a meltdown but has never acted like that with babysitters or at home only there. I’m in the process of finding a teacher to be with him while he’s there but I don’t know if I should just find a new daycare as well.
No I live in PA. I didn’t realize my profile said that and I’m not sure why it did. But there’s not very many resources for kids with autism near me. I’ve even talked with my kids doctors, the… read more

Also, he is now experiencing things he hadn't before such as crying during recess, he won't… read more
