Ask Dr. Doreen - ABA Therapy - Stimming - Speech

In this episode of Ask Dr. Doreen, Shannon Penrod and Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh discuss questions written in by viewers about ABA therapy, Stimming, Speech and more! Check it out! 5:49 My son has HPHPA bacteria, and my family doctor and his pediatrician refused to prescribe antibiotic. Why? because I did a second OAT with Great Plains Lab. What do I do? My son regressed into autism 12:30 Hi Doreen, my son is 4-year-old and attends center-based ABA Therapy for about 34 hours per week. It's been a year since he started, but he still stims a lot like flapping hands, spinning, jumping, verbal stim. He also got Speech apraxia I just want to know how my son will responds to the therapy in coming years, with the experience you have as you have seen so many kids, I am very worried about him, as I feel some time he is progressing and sometimes he is regressing with his stimming behaviors. 23:00 Self-Stimulatory Behavior 25:16 Our 4.5yr boy has advanced far ... as a update & hope for many. He started with Early Intervention ... OT, PT, Aba ( home & PreK ), and Speech Therapy have allowed him to blossom... He MAY be considered twice-exceptional now .. BUT falls very short with social growth AND yes - VERBAL STIMMING and focus issues will make 5yr kindergarten a BIG challenge. ANY INPUT? 35:57 I'm TERRIFIED of sending my son to kindergarten. I kept him back this year to do one more year of full time Aba. They don't allow ABA or 1 on 1 aides here. I'm just terrified 38:39 Hi Dr. Doreen, my twins will be 3 years in June. They recently got their VB Mapp Assessment done and they are on level 2 (incomplete) and some splinter skills complete in level 3 I.e. reading & math Also tasting is complete of level 3. Our BCBA warns us that some kids get stuck at level 2. Is that true? What can we do now to avoid getting stuck? 42:09 Would AIT help with verbal stimming? 46:44 My son starts to run around nonstop with vocal stemming in Costco I don't know what it is if it's the bright lights or noises and if I hold his hands, he gets angry. It only happens in Costco no other stores I've tried noise canceling headphones and sunglasses, but I haven't figured out what it is. 49:33 We need assistance in getting my son ABA therapy. Our insurance covers it but the deductible and the out-of-pocket quotes make the weekly fees exorbitant. Is there an advocate we can engage to assist us in getting these costs reduced based on our income or a grant we can apply for to assist? He is 11. We have been doing biomedical but the school he attends believes it will assist him in his academics. It is the best school we have been to and he does have trouble communicating still. He is fine for me at home. He understands my directions and even can do some home tasks at home and without any direction at all; he self directs. At school is another matter. They tell me he is not a behavioral issue at all, just having trouble with the verbal communication piece.

Ask Dr. Doreen - ABA Therapy - Stimming - Speech

In this episode of Ask Dr. Doreen, Shannon Penrod and Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh discuss questions written in by viewers about ABA therapy, Stimming, Speech and more! Check it out! 5:49 My son has HPHPA bacteria, and my family doctor and his pediatrician refused to prescribe antibiotic. Why? because I did a second OAT with Great Plains Lab. What do I do? My son regressed into autism 12:30 Hi Doreen, my son is 4-year-old and attends center-based ABA Therapy for about 34 hours per week. It's been a year since he started, but he still stims a lot like flapping hands, spinning, jumping, verbal stim. He also got Speech apraxia I just want to know how my son will responds to the therapy in coming years, with the experience you have as you have seen so many kids, I am very worried about him, as I feel some time he is progressing and sometimes he is regressing with his stimming behaviors. 23:00 Self-Stimulatory Behavior 25:16 Our 4.5yr boy has advanced far ... as a update & hope for many. He started with Early Intervention ... OT, PT, Aba ( home & PreK ), and Speech Therapy have allowed him to blossom... He MAY be considered twice-exceptional now .. BUT falls very short with social growth AND yes - VERBAL STIMMING and focus issues will make 5yr kindergarten a BIG challenge. ANY INPUT? 35:57 I'm TERRIFIED of sending my son to kindergarten. I kept him back this year to do one more year of full time Aba. They don't allow ABA or 1 on 1 aides here. I'm just terrified 38:39 Hi Dr. Doreen, my twins will be 3 years in June. They recently got their VB Mapp Assessment done and they are on level 2 (incomplete) and some splinter skills complete in level 3 I.e. reading & math Also tasting is complete of level 3. Our BCBA warns us that some kids get stuck at level 2. Is that true? What can we do now to avoid getting stuck? 42:09 Would AIT help with verbal stimming? 46:44 My son starts to run around nonstop with vocal stemming in Costco I don't know what it is if it's the bright lights or noises and if I hold his hands, he gets angry. It only happens in Costco no other stores I've tried noise canceling headphones and sunglasses, but I haven't figured out what it is. 49:33 We need assistance in getting my son ABA therapy. Our insurance covers it but the deductible and the out-of-pocket quotes make the weekly fees exorbitant. Is there an advocate we can engage to assist us in getting these costs reduced based on our income or a grant we can apply for to assist? He is 11. We have been doing biomedical but the school he attends believes it will assist him in his academics. It is the best school we have been to and he does have trouble communicating still. He is fine for me at home. He understands my directions and even can do some home tasks at home and without any direction at all; he self directs. At school is another matter. They tell me he is not a behavioral issue at all, just having trouble with the verbal communication piece. Any assistance or guidance in tackling this hurdle would be great. 51:42 hi, i am from india...using skils and loving it...just wanted to know what does a typical day in 25-40 hour aba look like for a verbal child, level 3 vbmapp.. 5years age... 57:31 My son is pushing other kids and his preschool reduced his attendance to just one hour and I am not motivated to take him there. Do you think I am wrong? a specialized school. that cannot deal with a 4-year-old. He wants to play but he doesn't know how. 1:00:40 This week on Autism Live Pre-Order the book written by the host of Autism Live, Shannon Penrod! https://www.amazon.com/Autism-Parent-Sanity-Saving-Spectrum/dp/1949177858 Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/autism-live/id827968203 Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/autismlivepodcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0TXbDFs8cLP0UQbNVqHThf?si=VbEfw4_oRjqJY3vK2pgmFg IHeartRadio.com https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-autism-live-51537613/ Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/Autism-Live-Podcast/B08JJN7B28?qid=1611965289&sr=1-1&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=M68PFW27AP000G4N9CCJ Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/search/autism%20live

Ask Dr. Doreen - Aggression - Potty Training - Uncontrollable Laughter

Autism Expert and pioneer in the field of Autism, Psychologist and BCBA, Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh is answering viewer questions about aggression, potty training, uncontrollable laughter and more! Watch Ask Dr. Doreen LIVE Tuesday's at 10am PT! #AutismExpert #Autism #AutismPodcast https://www.autismnetwork.com/category/ask-dr-doreen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@askdrdoreen? 7:57 I want to ask this question: Please can the group tell me, after you have had a diagnosis. Why have I been told by family friends and partners, your normal. You don't have Autism? 14:02 Hi Dr. Doreen. What services are out there when your child has graduated from ABA, is getting bigger (12 years old) and still displays aggressive behaviors? How do we keep him and everyone else safe? 27:03 Hi Doreen My son attends center based ABA it's been a year he has started, but we still has got problem with his stimming and lack of Independent play, I can't control his stim. obsession with fans. 37:25 I was thinking about doing a respite exchange program for single parents. Because gosh, it is HARD when you don't/can't qualify for respite. I have 3 special needs kids and new to the state of TX with ZERO help. 39:04 I have a question concerning couples on the spectrum. If one individual recognizes that they're on the spectrum, And is figuring out their own triggers and corks, but the other individual does not acknowledge this is sudden realization, and continues to treat and converse with the other individual as if there is no processing issue when it comes to emotion. Issues like tone, not hearing exactly what the other person is saying, or internalizing what they're saying .. I.e. imposter syndrome, or goes catatonic during high pressure debates, is becoming an extreme issue. 44:10 Hi Doren, My son is 4 years old, he has phases of 6-7 uncontrollable laughter everyday ? Is it sugar or something else? 48:12 Hi Shannon. What do u think it's mora helpful ABA or SON RISE? Specifically, To deal with an aggressive child. 51:35 Hello, just going to put a warning that this is going to be TMI and a little bit gross, I hope it's okay. I am 19F and I have a twin brother who is autistic and non verbal. My mother is his primary career, and I moved back home last year to help her out as my brother has gotten older and bigger than her which can sometimes be difficult for her. From us being young children to around 16, my brother was perfectly using the toilet by himself, for pooping and peeing. Just to add, he also really likes the sound of flushing and coldness of the toilet seat surface, so he often flushes the toilet just to hear the sound and he might sit on it fully clothed whilst playing games which is not really an issue. Around 16, he started pooping on the floor in the bathroom instead of the toilet. Initially we thought he was constipated and struggling to go so my mum started looking closely at his toileting routine and took him to the GP and everything was said to be fine. After a week or so of doing this we tried having him sit on the toilet (as in watching him about to go and telling him verbally to sit down) which resulted in massive meltdowns including self harming. He also stopped wiping himself with tissue afterwards. This was three years ago and since then it gotten considerably worse especially as my mum was afraid of him hurting himself if we made him sit on the toilet. He is now 19 and now poops on the floor anywhere in the house when we're not looking, and occasionally will pee on carpet etc. Most recently my mother had some friends over, and she assumed my brother was in his room watching TV or drawing. A guest got up to go to the kitchen for some water and my brother had left a particularly liquid-y surprise for us on the kitchen floor.

Ask Dr. Doreen - What is ABA? - How to Find Good ABA - Taking Medication & More!

Autism Expert and pioneer in the field of Autism, Psychologist and BCBA, Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh is answering viewer questions about ABA and How to find good ABA, taking medication & more! Tune in and check it out! 5:40 My sister [35F] is leaving her husband and is upset. I want to help, but I am autistic. What things should I [28M] try to do to help her feel better? I'm also a hikikomori/agoraphobic/social recluse, which makes things harder. She's staying with me and our parents with her two sons at the moment. [8M] and [4M]. She was with her husband [38M] for about 19 years, and they got married about 10 years ago. No-one's told me the details on why she's leaving him, but she's told our parents. They understand these things more, I think, and would give way better advice than I could since I haven't had a girlfriend before. All I know is that 'He did something silly' and that they've struggled in their marriage for the past few months. Today I made pasta as dinner for me and her. I've also looked after her kids at points in the past two days! I'm not sure if her kids have been told what's going on, but the oldest one isn't stupid and must know something isn't right. I guess I am asking for general advice on how to help, but how I should react to things. I am sad because I have known him most of my life, and we regularly have spoken about computer games we've been playing. Does this mean I should remove him as a friend on PlayStation Network? How should I help my sister in ways I probably haven't thought of? 13:26 hi Dr. doreen here is a question. my mom broke her wrist on Wednesday and my stepdad has had to take a leave of absence due to it. I don't feel like I'm doing a good job coping with this. i am caring more about my routines like jersey mikes on Tuesdays. I need help handling this better. this is causing my family a lot of hassle. please help me be a better son and to do better let me add on. my stepdad is also helping me a lot as well. and he is one of those people that doesn't get autism in general. he is a southern person who believes in rules. I want to help him as well. please help my family. also, with my sister in college and doing her externship soon sucks. plus, her diagnosis of bipolar 1 I'm also afraid that she will go manic again. sorry for the bother. 21:08 What are some questions to ask when looking for a good ABA provider? 27:58 How do we find out what providers are only interested in what is best for our child and doing things in a "fair" way. 33:33 What is ABA? 39:51 My 4.5 y.o. speaks mostly in 4-7 word sent., can answer many intraverbal questions (including many how & why), & has a good albeit still delayed vocab. But he still struggles to have conversations. When is a reasonable expectation for when he could converse? He just wants to talk about his interests, which is fine, but I also want to have a conversation someday. Oh, he asks lots of different questions to us too (although that only happened in the past few months). It's trouble sustaining back and forth. 48:20 What's the best way to get my son from using a sippy cup? He's two years old and three months 49:37 My 3 yr. old is not feeling well at all he has had a horrible runny nose and a wet cough now for 2 days ...he just looks miserable and I haven't been able to help him .....just checked his temperature and it says 100.6 ...i just can't get him to swallow any type of medicine ...and its making me so sad ....he only drinks water and milk so I've tried mixing medicine in there but he notice it so he won't take it ...he doesn't eat apple sauce or yogurt so i cant mix it in there ... he has an appointment tomorrow at 9 but i just wish i can get him to take medicine....how do u guys do it when your kids r sick and dont like medicine. 59:07 This week on Autism Live 1:02:28 Dr. Doreen are you seeing kids right now?

Ask Dr. Doreen - Autism Diagnosis - Hyperlexia - Trauma

In this segment of Ask Dr. Doreen, Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, BCBA-D Phd, discusses autism diagnosis, Hyperlexia, Trauma and more! Don't miss it! 6:56 Does it Get Better? I've never posted but it's getting so hard for me to deal with my son. I guess I'm just here to vent..sorry its so long and jumbled together. My son is 4 years old and we have an evaluation scheduled for Thursday with our developmental pediatrician. I know he is autistic but am hoping we get an actual diagnosis. He has a few stims that he does when he is excited or mad, he gets frustrated so easily and has meltdowns, he avoids eye contact, he likes to smash his face into us when he's mad, he has trouble with transitions, he is verbal but doesn't communicate.. I could go on. Does it get better? Will he speak in complete sentences? How do I exist w/o being miserable? Will we ever be able to do things as a family, like going to a pumpkin patch, going to an indoor play area, meeting Santa, etc? (We went to a pumpkin patch recently and omg it was horrible) Will he ever understand birthdays or Christmas? I feel so much guilt for not being happy with the children I have. I often wonder if this is karma. Or that maybe I was never supposed to have kids. (I went through 4 rounds of IVF for my son) I feel like the depression is ruining everything - my marriage, my connection with my kids (because lately I've just wanted to walk away rather than keep trying to engage) and my life. It's hard to make friends as I am just triggered when I see their neurotypical children. My 2 special needs kids are not really interested in each other and it breaks my heart. This is not what I pictured. I have siblings and am very close with them. I guess my heart just breaks every day and I grieve the life that I know we will not have. Thanks for listening. I really hope things get better because I don't know how to do this 10 years down the road. 25:05 Autism is neurodiversity then why it is treated as behavior problem? 33:21 I have a very specific question. Every allergy season my son gets super sick and he doesn't know how to blow his nose, any tips? 36:43 Hi Dr Doreen, what is the correlation hyperlexia and autism? Is it a predictor of functioning level? 39:14 When my daughter was diagnosed with mild autism the therapist said her language delay was due to the autism and had nothing to do with cognitive impairment. He also said that she would catch up to her peers and I shouldn't worry about it too much since her case is pretty mild. He did however recommend ABA therapy. When I was having the assessment interview with the ABA therapist she recommended 40 hours a week which is way higher than I assumed my daughter would need (since she has such a mild case), and she also said my daughter is at the level expected of an 18 month old. My daughter is 2.5. I really wasn't expecting this. I know my daughter is behind but to hear that she's like an 18 month old was jarring and I'm worried now that my daughter will have struggles beyond the challenges she'll face being autistic. I guess I just don't understand the huge discrepancies between the two therapists and now I'm freaked out. Does this mean she has a cognitive or intellectual impairment as well as autism? 41:58 The mind does not switch off, so sometimes the alcohol sometimes switches off the brain. People sometimes don't understand the strength of the brain with Autism. I don't wish to say to much but I know lots of things that I have learnt. But what I find is that most, don't understand how my brain is running at 1000 miles an hour from waking to sleep and sometimes in sleep because of the day. I can watch one thing and never forget it. Unless I suppress it. I also work like a computer with a data bank of information I can recall if needed. 47:06 Any advice on how to stop licking my child started this behavior licking their hand and wiping the saliva over their face the behavior started with a series of colds and now continues although well. Likes to use wet wash cloth as well if not licking. 55:16 Son refuses to go in bath tub. He is not afraid of water. ABA does water protocol. He is afraid of tub . Where do I start. He is so traumatized from last bath which we had to wash hair.
