Building Independence for Children with Autism
Many parents or guardians exploring autism treatment options are deeply concerned about their child’s ability to function independently, both in the present and later in life. ABA therapy first assesses where a child with autism is currently functioning with regard to independence and then identifies where they ideally would be functioning at their age. The goal of ABA therapy is to close that gap, helping children progress toward and eventually reach age-appropriate milestones for independence.
