One of Bee's deficits (sounds so harsh, I know) is his lack of conversation skills. Last summer, he didn't know how to say "yes" or "no". Getting him to answer questions required a lot of patience. Typically functioning kids just talk and talk and talk (see Lee)... with Bee,...

(Apologies to any "Evita" fans.)
So we've begun the assessment process for Bee's ABA program. I watched for a couple of hours as two people played and engaged with my boy one afternoon, all while figuring out his strengths and deficits. I have to say it was a total relief. For the...
