ABA Therapy, The Natural Way- The Hope Source

I scheduled for consultation because the website said they served young adults (up to 30). I asked about diagnostics and was questioned about why I even wanted testing. Rather than providing information, they wanted to know exactly my purpose and what I was trying to get out of it. Disability or social security were the only options as to why an adult could want a diagnosis. I told them I wanted to have an official diagnosis to supply to employers and my therapist for more realistic treatment and care. This didn't seem like a viable answer to the person on the other end of the phone. They said most people are diagnosed as children so I likely don't need testing (what does that even mean?) I really did not like how the operater handled my inquiry, so I'm going to look somewhere else. That was uncomfortable and embarrassing.

We pulled our children out due to peer bullying that caused severe emotional distress with my child. Staff turnover is extremely high, which causes kids to go thru many guides. One month, my son had three separate We had to constantly fight to get any records of our children. To this day, I have not recieved everything because not everything is kept electronically and nothing is organized. And the final thing? I was told, by the owner, they do individualized learning plans. My son was in advanced placement classes in public schools. He was thrown into grade level and was used to "help" other students.

The Hope Source is a really great combo of education and therapy. It is a low-stim, low-pressure environment that really supports the kids. We work on helping the kiddos in a naturalistic environment. The Hope Source is a truly revolutionary change from traditional ABA!
