When first suspecting that your child may have autism, you may visit a doctor who can use a screening tool to determine if your child should see a specialist for further evaluation. While this isn’t a referral, speaking to a doctor can help you understand if your child is on track developmentally.
Each child’s journey with autism is unique, and commitment to ABA therapy requires anywhere from 15-40 hours per week. Children may need years of therapy to reach their personal objectives.
A study by Kristen R. Choi, et al. determined that ABA therapy has the potential for improving communication skills, socialization, and reducing maladaptive behaviors. However, due to the varied nature of autism spectrum disorder diagnoses, results will differ on a case-by-case basis. Applied ABC has highlighted a few landmark successes in our Stories of Hope.
