The best age to start Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is as early as possible, ideally before the age of 5. Early intervention is key in helping children with autism develop essential skills such as communication, social interaction, and daily living abilities. Research shows that the earlier a child receives ABA therapy, the more effective it is in supporting long-term development and reducing the severity of autism-related challenges.
Starting ABA therapy at a young age helps children learn crucial behaviors in a structured and supportive environment. While it’s ideal to begin therapy early, it’s never too late to benefit from ABA. Children of any age can make progress with tailored therapy programs that address their specific needs.
