5 Signs Your Child May Benefit from ABA Therapy

Parents often wonder if ABA therapy is right for their child. While every child is unique, there are common signs that suggest a child may benefit from a professional ABA evaluation. Here are five to watch for:

Difficulty communicating needs or wants

Whether verbal or non-verbal, struggles to express basic needs, wants, or feelings.

Challenging behaviors

Tantrums, aggression, or self-injury that interfere with daily life and family routines.

Trouble with social interactions

Difficulty making friends, reading social cues, taking turns, or engaging in back-and-forth conversation.

Struggles with daily routines

Getting dressed, brushing teeth, or transitioning between activities causes significant distress.

Difficulty in school settings

Trouble following instructions, sitting still, or participating in group activities.
