Combining proven science with human compassion

If you are a parent of a child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, you want to ensure that your child receives the most effective therapy available. The research behind Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy and its effectiveness on children with autism is a topic that is near and dear to our hearts. ABA therapy is an evidence-based practice that has been shown through scientific research to be highly effective in improving the lives of children with autism.

Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of ABA therapy in improving language and communication skills, socialization, and academic performance in children with autism. ABA therapy has also been shown to be effective in reducing problem behaviors and improving adaptive behavior.

At our center, we believe that compassion is an essential component of ABA therapy. We work closely with each child and their family to provide individualized care and support that is tailored to their unique needs. We strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment that promotes growth and development.

The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is an ABA-based intervention that was specifically designed for children with autism under the age of five. A randomized controlled trial of the ESDM found that children who received the intervention showed significant improvements in language and cognitive skills compared to children who received community-based interventions (Dawson et al., 2010).

Another study looked at the effectiveness of intensive ABA therapy for children with autism under the age of four. The study found that children who received intensive ABA therapy made significant gains in cognitive, language, and adaptive behavior skills compared to children who received less intensive therapy (Lovaas, 1987).

A study that compared ABA therapy to non-ABA therapy for young children with autism found that children who received ABA therapy showed greater improvements in communication, socialization, and behavior compared to children who received non-ABA therapy
(Smith et al., 2000).

A meta-analysis of ABA interventions for children with autism found that early intensive ABA therapy (at least 25 hours per week) was associated with greater improvements in language and cognitive skills compared to less intensive therapy
(Reichow et al., 2018).
