If your child has been diagnosed with autism, ABA therapy can help. It’s also effective for children struggling with communication, social interactions, or behaviors that affect their daily life. Whether it’s challenges with handling emotions, difficulty in school, or limited communication skills, ABA offers a structured approach to guide children towards improvement. It’s particularly effective for children with autism, helping them develop essential skills. If you’re unsure if ABA is right for your child, we offer an initial assessment to determine the best path forward.

What does an ABA session look like?
Button blue arrow

Typically, a session starts with a quick check-in to see how your child is doing. Then, your child works one-on-one with an RBT, who uses engaging activities to teach new skills. For example, if your child struggles with communication, they might work on learning to request items using pictures or words, while practicing social skills through turn-taking games. If your child needs help with daily tasks, they might practice getting dressed, brushing teeth, or learning to follow simple directions. Every activity is reinforced with praise or rewards, so your child feels motivated and confident. The goal is always to make the learning feel natural, fun, and part of their everyday routine.

How long does ABA therapy take to show results?

Every child is different, so the time it takes to see progress varies. However, many families start noticing improvements within the first few months. It’s important to remember that ABA therapy is a gradual process, and real, lasting change happens over time. We’ll provide regular updates to keep you informed and confident in the progress your child is making.
