Thriving and Succeeding with Autism with Shane Finkelstein

Shane Finkelstein is one of Shana’s original ABA clients from 20 years ago and is here to talk about his experience with autism. Ever since Shane was young, he had several social problems and was having trouble fitting in with people outside his family. He was diagnosed with autism at the age of two, which is also when he began ABA therapy. ABA helped Shane develop good social skills as well as a good work ethic. He attended several public schools where he excelled academically, but struggled socially. That changed when he started attending a special needs camp and school. Through school, camp, and ABA therapy, Shane is now able to form meaningful relationships with other people while still being himself.Shane shares his favorite aspects of ABA, especially weekend outings, which helped him form healthy relationships and thrive in social settings. We also talked to Shane about the skills he’s currently working on and his experience in the workforce. Shane also shared with us a poster he created on the last day of his contract.
