Good, even the best autism treatment doesn't have to cost a fortune. Research has proven this. Sometimes your child can get great treatment for 20% of what is commonly paid for treatment.

There are three keys:

1. Use Evidence Based Best Practice.

2. Consistency across all environments and throughout the day.

3. Parent/Caregiver participation. NOTE: This does not mean spending your whole life doing therapy with your child. What it does mean is altering all of your interactions with your child so therapy will occur during the natural routines for you, your family, and your child. You will find the tools and link to tools you need here. A good clinical/theraputic (routine based) consultant is a must…but must less expensive than full time therapy and often more beneficial to your child as long as all the interventions are contextualized within the natural routines of your child emphasizing natural reinforcers.
