Starting ABA Therapy Immediately After an ASD Diagnosis

Studies 1,2,3 indicate that early Autism interventions boost the child’s development and help them catch up with their neurotypical peers. In some cases, they may be able to lose their Autism diagnosis completely.

Intensive therapy for an average of 30 to 40 hours a week with a certified ABA therapist for an extended period of time can be highly effective.

Needs the active involvement and commitment of parents and caregivers who can adopt ABA-based techniques beyond formal therapy sessions during real-world situations
