Build a Brighter Future With Early Intervention ABA Therapy
Early intervention can be pivotal to supporting your child’s development, especially when it comes to addressing the unique challenges associated with autism. We believe in the power of starting early to make the most significant impact. Our Early Intervention ABA therapy services are designed to help young children develop essential skills in a supportive and compassionate environment, where their happiness and joy are just as important as their progress.
What Is Early Intervention ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy is a well-established, evidence-based approach that helps children with autism develop crucial skills for communication, social interaction, and daily living. Early Intervention ABA therapy focuses on providing these benefits to children at the earliest possible stage, typically for those aged 5 and under. By starting early, during critical periods of brain development, we help lay the foundation for lifelong learning and adaptability.
Benefits of Early Intervention ABA
The impact of starting ABA therapy early is significant and can set the stage for better outcomes in a child’s development:
Enhanced Developmental Outcomes
Early intervention allows children to build foundational skills during their most formative years, leading to more robust developmental progress.
Increased Learning Opportunities
By starting early, children have more time to learn and practice essential skills, increasing the likelihood of mastering critical developmental milestones.
Better Long-Term Success
Early intervention can reduce the severity of autism symptoms and lead to better long-term outcomes, including improved social interactions, communication and adaptive living skills.
Family Empowerment
Early intervention not only supports the child but also empowers families by providing them with the tools and strategies needed to foster their child’s development from the start.
How Early Intervention ABA Therapy Works
Assessment and Goal Setting
We begin with a detailed assessment of your child’s strengths, challenges and needs. Based on this assessment, we collaborate with you to set meaningful, achievable goals.
Individualized Treatment Plan
Each therapy plan is customized to address your child's specific behaviors and developmental goals. Our plans are flexible and evolve as your child progresses.
Implementation and Monitoring
Our experienced therapists implement the treatment plan using evidence-based techniques. We continuously monitor your child’s progress and make necessary adjustments to ensure success.
Family Engagement
We believe that family involvement is crucial to the success of ABA therapy. We engage parents and caregivers throughout the therapy process, providing the support and education needed to reinforce your child’s learning at home.
Lasting Progress and Adaptability
We focus on ensuring that the skills your child learns in therapy are displayed across various settings, such as home, school and community environments, to promote lasting progress and adaptability.

We Are Here to Answer Any of Your Questions
Can you help me schedule an autism diagnosis appointment?
Yes, we can! At Centria Autism we have an entire team of specialists who can help you navigate through the often-complex process to begin ABA therapy, which all starts with a formal diagnostic evaluation. We will work with you to help locate and schedule a diagnostic evaluation and keep in contact with you along the way.
How long will it take for my child to start ABA therapy?
Depending on your location, and time of day you will have ABA sessions, we can start in as little as two weeks. After the Initial Assessment and Treatment Plan are developed, your Client Service Manager will contact your Health Insurance provider and submit for ABA coverage. We will be working on finding you a Behavior Technician that meets the needs of your child. Also, your Supervising Clinician will supervise the treatment plan and Behavior Technician moving forward. Once all staff is in place, and the ABA coverage through the insurance provider is authorized, we are ready to start!
Do I need to do all the recommended hours of therapy?
ABA therapy is a “dose-dependent” therapy, which means the higher the dose the greater the treatment effect.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, The National Research Council, and the National Standards Project of the National Autism Center all confirm that starting ABA therapy as soon as possible with intensive behavioral analytic intervention of 25-40 hours a week for 12 months a year is associated with “substantial, sustained gains in IQ, language, academic performance, and adaptive behavior, as well as some measures of social behavior, and their outcomes have been significantly better than those of children in control groups.
