Applied Behavior Therapy (ABA) is the only therapy scientifically proven and FDA approved to improve the quality of life in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other related disabilities.
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a life long condition that is usually diagnosed in children at an early age, around two years old. Children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder often present severe communication and developmental delays, along with sensory integration deficits that prevent them from interacting appropriately with their environment. Early diagnosis and intervention is pivotal for the development and the success of autistic children, and has been found by numerous research to produce the best results.
