Early intervention is most effective when started as soon as developmental concerns are noticed—as early as infancy or toddlerhood. Typically, children between 18 months to 6 years old benefit the most, as this is a critical period for brain development and learning. If your child shows delays in speech, social interaction, play, behavior, or motor skills, it's best to seek support early.

ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis. It is an evidence-based therapy that helps children improve communication, social, learning, and behavior skills. ABA therapy is especially effective for children with autism and other developmental needs. It works by understanding the reasons behind behaviors and teaching meaningful, positive alternatives through structured, personalized strategies. ABA therapy can help children learn new skills, reduce challenging behaviors, and become more independent in everyday life. Every ABA program is tailored to the unique needs of each child, and progress is closely monitored to ensure effectiveness.

Naturalistic teaching is an ABA approach that focuses on teaching skills during everyday activities and routines, rather than in a structured or clinical setting. It uses the child’s interests and natural environment (like playtime, snack time, or family routines) to teach communication, social, life skills, and more.

This method makes learning more fun and meaningful because the child is engaged in activities they enjoy. Therapists follow the child’s interests, create learning opportunities in real-life moments, and reinforce positive behaviors in context.

Naturalistic teaching helps children generalize what they learn, meaning they can use the skills not just in therapy, but also at home, school, and in the community.
