Everything You Always Wanted To Know About ABA

But Were Afraid To Ask

1. How do I get my child to stop screaming and crying when we go food shopping?

2. Why doesn’t my child respond to their name when I call him/her?

3. What can I do if my child spins the wheels of his/her toy car repeatedly?

4. Why does my child avoid eye contact with others during social opportunities?

5. How can I encourage my child to play with his older siblings/classmates?
