Early Intervention ABA Therapy in Orlando, Florida
ABA therapy for children under age 5. The earlier therapy begins, the greater the impact on your child's development.
The Window of Opportunity
Research is clear: children who receive intensive, evidence-based ABA therapy before age 5 make the most significant and lasting developmental gains. The early years are a critical period when the brain is most adaptable — making early intervention one of the most powerful tools available for children with autism.
Who It's For
Children ages 18 months through 5 years who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder or are showing signs of developmental delay. If you have concerns about your child's development, don't wait for a diagnosis to reach out — early evaluation can make all the difference.
What Early Intervention Programs Look Like
Sessions are play-based, naturalistic, and designed around your child's daily routines. Goals in early intervention typically include:
- Early communication (verbal and nonverbal)
- Joint attention and social engagement
- Imitation skills
- Following simple directions
- Play skills
- Toilet training
- Daily living routines
Intensity Matters
For toddlers and preschool-age children, research recommends 20–40 hours per week of structured ABA therapy for the best outcomes. Our BCBAs will determine the appropriate intensity based on your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Parent Coaching Is Built In
Parents are the most important people in a young child's life. Our early intervention programs include significant parent coaching components so families can implement ABA strategies throughout every waking hour — bath time, meals, play, and errands.
