What age do you start ABA therapy?

Almost all children on the autism spectrum can benefit from ABA, regardless of their age or level of ability. As soon as your child is diagnosed, we can begin ABA therapy. While two years old is the age we typically start seeing children, we’ve treated children as early as 18 months.
ABA Therapy is a clinically proven therapy for children with autism. ABA is also endorsed by the US Surgeon General, Autism Speaks, the American Academy of Pediatrics, The Autism Society of America and many others.
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the use of various techniques and principles to bring about meaningful and positive change in behavior. For children with autism and other developmental disabilities in Cleveland, ABA therapy has helped them function more independently and successfully at home, in school or other environments.
We try as soon as possible. It’s best to contact us for updated availability.

There are three things you’ll need:

  1. Copy of the diagnosis report stating an Autism diagnosis
  2. Referral for ABA therapy (This may be included in your Diagnosis report)

We can guide you throughout the entire process. Please contact us and we’ll get started.

Preferably by a developmental pediatrician. We’d be happy to refer you to one.
