It’s never too late to benefit from ABA therapy. While early intervention is highly effective, especially between 2 and 6 years old, ABA therapy can still provide significant improvements for older children, teens, and even adults.

The earlier therapy begins, the faster a child can develop essential skills like communication, social interaction, and behavior management. However, ABA therapy is effective at any age and can be tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals as they grow. For older children or adults, ABA can help with job readiness, independence, and socialization.
Even if a child is diagnosed later, ABA can still make a positive impact by enhancing life skills, improving emotional regulation, and fostering independence. It’s all about personalized strategies and consistent support.
