It’s never too late for ABA therapy. While early intervention often between ages 2 and 6 is ideal for maximizing developmental growth, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is effective for people of all ages, including teens and adults.
ABA focuses on teaching meaningful skills that improve daily life, such as communication, emotional regulation, and independence. These goals can be tailored to fit any stage of life. For younger children, therapy may target early learning and behavior management. For older children or adults, it can focus on social skills, job readiness, or community participation.
The key is personalization. A skilled Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) designs each program to meet individual needs, ensuring progress at every age. Growth may look different for everyone, but positive change is always possible.
