Understand who does what
ABA providers, pediatricians, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and educators have different roles. Ask each professional what their service includes and how it relates to your child’s priorities.
Keep your family’s priorities visible
A short list of questions can make a conversation more useful. You might ask how goals are selected, whether recommendations overlap, and which professional can answer a particular concern.
