ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy is a scientifically proven method that focuses on teaching children with autism essential skills, such as communication, social interactions, and independence. It uses positive reinforcement and tailored strategies to improve behaviors and help children unlock their full potential.

If you're wondering whether your child needs ABA therapy, look for signs like:

• Difficulty following instructions or understanding language
• Limited language development or communication challenges
• Trouble interacting with peers or making friends
• Repetitive behaviors or difficulty with transitions
• Challenges in developing independence or self-regulation

A professional evaluation and diagnosis can help confirm if ABA therapy is the right approach to support your child’s growth.
