What is ABA therapy, and how does it work?
Applied behavior analysis therapy is a proven approach for helping children with autism build new skills and reduce behaviors that can make learning more difficult. Through ABA therapy, children on the autism spectrum can improve communication, develop self-care routines, and better manage their emotions. Our ABA therapists use positive reinforcement and personalized strategies to support each child’s growth. We work closely with families to help children reach their goals and build the skills they need for the future.
The doctor said my child's development is delayed and suggested waiting to test for autism. Is that a good idea?
It’s understandable to want to trust that your child will catch up on their own, but waiting to seek an autism diagnosis can mean missing important chances for early intervention.
