Early Childhood Autism Services
Early Intervention In-Home ABA Therapy
Our early intervention program provides Applied Behavior Analysis for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in the comfort of home. Starting ABA early - as young as 18 months - supports communication, social, and developmental skills during the most critical stages of brain development.
Early Intervention Research
47% reached typical learning levels with early ABA
70% gain functional language within 2 years
89% show improvement in social/communication skills
2% reached same levels without ABA

What Is Early Intervention In-Home ABA?
Therapy delivered in your child's natural environment during ages 18 months to 5 years. Our play-based approach uses Natural Environment Teaching (NET) - learning embedded in everyday routines like meals, playtime, and transitions.
Sessions look like structured play, not clinical drills. Your child learns communication and social skills through activities they already enjoy. See our play-based ABA services.
Why Early Intervention Matters
| Developmental Area | Early ABA Impact |
|---|---|
| Brain plasticity | Neural connections form fastest before age 5 |
| Language development | Critical window for functional communication |
| Behavior patterns | Easier to shape before habits solidify |
| School readiness | Foundation for classroom success |
