Hi. This is only my second post. I have been dealing with this for 2+ year. You can go read my first post to get an idea of my 5 year old. One month ago my son had the VB - map from a very good BCBA. I needed help in the area of avoidance issues when age appropriate demands were being placed upon him. He showed reading and comprehension at the middle of 3rd.grade levels. I ended up only needing 25 hours of VB to address avoidance issues to help him when he goes to mainstream kindy. This is a child who the school district tried to place in a self contained class of only 5 nonverbal autistic children. 2 years later the talk is all about how to keep him challenged in K and gifted testing once settled into school year.
