What Are the Pros and Cons of Group ABA Therapy Sessions?

Group ABA therapy sessions can be a powerful way to support children with autism, but they come with both advantages and challenges.

On the positive side, group sessions encourage social skill development. Children learn to share, take turns, and communicate with peers in a structured environment. This setting also helps generalize skills beyond one-on-one therapy, preparing children for real-world interactions in school and community settings. Additionally, group therapy can be cost-effective, allowing families to access consistent support while maximizing resources.


However, group sessions may not always meet every child’s individual needs. Some children benefit more from personalized one-on-one attention, especially if they struggle with sensory sensitivities or require intensive support. Managing diverse skill levels within a group can also be challenging, and progress may vary depending on each child’s readiness.


At Steady Strides ABA, we carefully assess whether group or individual ABA therapy in Texas is the best fit for your child. Our goal is to create a supportive environment that balances social growth with personalized care.
