ABA is Amazing!!!
ABA is amazing! I wish I had started sooner. When we first found out about PDD-NOS and that Tucker had it, I started to do my research to see how we could best help him. ABA keep coming up and I just keep putting it to the back of my mind in hopes that there was something that would be easier to do with him. Then it seemed like we keep hitting brick wall after brick wall. Then one day I read something that said if you start ABA for at least 20 hours a week before the age of 3 1/2 you have a higher chance of recovering your child. In that moment I knew that I had to do whatever it took to get Tucker ABA. So for us that meant we had to start our own home program. When you first think about that it feels like there is no way anyone can do that, but the Lord is always there to guide you to where you need to be. I was guided to the best consultant in El Paso and I really mean that she is the best here. Then I found the best therapist and she has years of experience with ABA, can you believe that I found these great people in El Paso. Anyway, we have been doing the program for 2 weeks and it is amazing in that short amount of time how far he has come. He is one really smart little boy. It is so cool to see him trying so hard to speak and ask me for things. I know this is what I was looking for and it was the answer to my prayers. Some days are bad and I think does the Lord even hear me, but he hears and he is so willing to give when we are willing to listen and do what he wants us to do. I love my T-Man and he will be ok someday I just know it. As for now we will continue to do ABA and biomedical intervention and everyday watch as he improves.

That's so great! El Paso may not be your favorite place but it's where you needed to be!
