The best time to start ABA therapy is as early as possible, ideally between the ages of 2 and 4. Early intervention is key in helping children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) develop essential skills, such as communication, social interaction, and self-regulation. Starting therapy early allows children to make significant progress during their formative years, leading to improved outcomes in the long run.
While early intervention offers the most impactful results, ABA therapy can still be effective for older children, teens, and adults. Regardless of age, ABA focuses on individualized strategies that help individuals reach their full potential at their own pace. The sooner you start, the sooner your child can benefit from positive reinforcement, structured learning, and personalized support.
