We actually did both. We felt that a lot of what floortime included were things we were doing (based on reading a number of books)... and I mean that as a positive. While I appreciate the child directed nature I felt like the structure and data driven model provided a better framework for our daughter. She's very young and a lot of what we work on are super fundamental skills. ABA (at least our provider) has been very thoughtful about creating a plan that identifies her struggles and implements strategies that are tailored to her to build skills. We tried a lot of things and could see positives in all of them... so we ultimately decided to cherry pick what we like and help structure her program. ABA provided us the framework to measure what works and what we need to change. I encourage parents to try a few things and see what works for them.
