Franklin and Fields- ABA and FloorTime coming together?




Autism BR show

Summary: There is a nationwide shortage of FloorTime practitioners. Some ABA practitioners are now offering FloorTime as well. As every child with autism is different, so to is the treatment of each child. Now these practitioners have two strategies to choose from to treat a child. Katie Wright told me she uses FloorTime with her son. What is FloorTime? With the discussion of autism on such mainstream media as Larry King and Oprah it is time to explain all treatments. Two parents who use FloorTime discuss it. Katy Franklin of San Francisco and Mike Fields of Atlanta. They explain what FloorTime is and then discuss the situation with finding practitioners in different parts on the country and the combining of ABA and FloorTime at the practitioner level.
