Autism Spectrum Disorder and ABA Therapy
Autism is a developmental condition affecting nearly 1-in-36 children across the United States according to 2024 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Maine, the prevalence of Autism closely mirrors national trends, with an increasing number of cases identified each year as awareness and diagnostic tools improve. This growing need underscores the importance of providing accessible care options for Maine families navigating ASD.
One of those care options is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA is considered the gold-standard for helping children with Autism reach their developmental milestones. Families can use ABA therapy to help their child build:
- Life Skills
- Communication Skills
- Emotional Regulation Skills
- Classroom Skills
- Motor Skills
- And, Much More!
