I know that money is always an issue.  Make sure you have a benefits check to ensure you are getting all the financial help available to you.
You could also phone the BCBA and find out what it would entail.  Sometimes you make an initial number of appointments, but once you know the programme you may only have to report back by phone on a regular basis, but only go to see them once a quarter.  It might also be possible to send video footage of sessions at home to show the BCBA how your son is doing.

thank you for the info. but can a pyshcologoist be able to help too. my family does not have a lot of money to travel far.or that often the nearest BCBA is 30 miles away.
