What to look for in Non-ABA Therapies
When selecting a provider for non-aba therapies, it's important to ask about their experience with neurodiversity. Consider asking:
- Do you have specific training in supporting autistic individuals?
- What is your approach to sensory needs?
- Do you involve the individual and family in goal setting?
