What does that mean?
We've put together a glossary of terms we have found useful in our journey to understanding and supporting our special kids. This is a working page that will be updated periodically so be sure to check back with us again.
ABA: Applied Behavior Analysis.
ASD: See autism.
autism: Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication, as well as by unique strengths and differences. We now know that there is not one autism but many types, caused by different combinations of genetic and environmental influences.
