ABA therapy can benefit individuals at all levels of autism, from mild to severe. Autism is a spectrum, meaning each person’s strengths and challenges are unique. ABA is highly individualized, making it effective for anyone who needs support with communication, social skills, behavior management, or daily living skills.
- Level 1 (Mild Support Needs): ABA can help improve social interactions, flexible thinking, and coping skills for everyday challenges.
- Level 2 (Moderate Support Needs): ABA focuses on building communication, reducing frustration, and teaching self-help skills to increase independence.
- Level 3 (High Support Needs): ABA provides intensive support for significant communication and behavior challenges, focusing on safety, functional skills, and improving quality of life.
ABA is not about “fixing” autism, it’s about helping each person reach their full potential by teaching meaningful skills in a positive way.
