I work with a child that is nine years old diagnosed with autism. This diagnosis was dificult for the childs parents to get as many doctors said the child has global cognitive issues. The parents deny this. The child rarely talks and has dificulty saying the sounds of letters. When he knows about 4 sounds he quickly forgets them or needs verbal prompting. The father says his child knows hundreds of sight words. My problem in teaching this child using ABA techniques is he forgets quickly what he learns, does not have discipline and when the father sees some improvement wants his son to move to more dificult tasks that frustrates the child. What do you recommend and what is a global cognitive issue?
Thank you for following up. I figured your concern. I would suggest you to give your child Become with lysine 5 ml 2 times or B complex 1 capsule 1 time 1 month, then do break 1 month and again repeat. For improving of cognitive issues you can give nootropic 1 month.1. Try to developed social skills, child Chat Doctor. Build his timetable on your children interests
