Im a seasonal RBT and i plan to study more of ABA through psychology. I love kids and been studying child development for a while now. I really love what you do and the perspective you use 😊 thank you for your help!
Trouble is therapists don’t know when to take these things away. I found that PECS had been hindering my child from talking, as soon as I removed it (against therapist’s advice/wishes), my kid started to use WORDS to ask for things that very day!!! She was 4.5 years. The PECS had obviously been stopping her from talking, I don’t know how long for. My personal view: PECS is good as an introduction to the concept of communication (for ASD kids) but if a child starts to use words, even just occasionally to ask for things while on PECS, it really needs to be removed so that the child is given an opportunity to develop spoken language. As a mother, I feel really guilty about this as her speech is still vastly behind, I guess didn’t know any better.
My son is not interested in books, he tears the first page he get hold of and line up those pieces especially long sentences. But he does stair at the photos/pictures alot and will page but doesn't necessarily want to sit and listen to the words I'm ready especially if they long...any tips

You're right, everything that helps a child needs to be faded out
