My son, Luke, is now 8 years old and was diagnosed as being autistic shortly after he turned two years old. While the autism spectrum is wide my son's major challenges in development center on focus, attention, oral speech communication, and fine and gross motor skills.
He attends a special school which teaches by the principals of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). Since the age of 3 he has attended school approximately 48 weeks a year 9 AM to 3 PM five days a week. He also has several hours of home based therapy consisting of speech therapy, occupational therapy, self help and living skills as well as additional ABA teaching. It's amazing that despite this seemingly never ending education program he is eager to learn and loves going to school each and every day.
