I'm getting ABA for my son because he needs help in the classroom. He doesn't truly need ABA but the yeshiva insists he has a shadow. This is the only way to go through insurance. I'm getting him language as well. The whole concept doesn't settle w me. Some male singling him out and giving him treats every time he behaves. I really don't love this idea... has anyone asked their ABA therapist not to give the incentive?

Why do you have a problem that the para is a male?

Is the teacher a woman?

My child has aba and has never received food treats at all. I don’t think you’re fully understanding what the therapist will be doing. He should be sitting at the back or side of the room and intervening when necessary. If your child needs to regulate, is being disruptive, or any other personal need, the therapist steps in to help your child one on one. They will motivate your child to do what they need to do with whatever methods are pre discussed. You have a say in what they do.

Lol ok yeah I worked in many schools and the discrepancy between what was meant to happen and what happened…
Let’s just say many times it ends up getting boiled down to treats for positive behavior.
They will tell you that aba isn’t really aba but bietzem it always is.
Op is it the school or the individual Rebbi/teacher? If it’s the school and not the Rebbi I would try to be in contact with Rebbi/teacher asking constantly for updates and always asking if it’s still necessary. Hopefully they will be on the same page as you and can tell their administration that your son is fine without.
