Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a developmental disability typically manifesting before the age of three, that profoundly affects various aspects of brain development including social interaction, communication skills, and cognitive function. Common challenges faced by individuals with autism include difficulties in communication, social interactions, and inappropriate behaviors.
Research suggests that ABA therapy contributes to successful long-term outcomes for 89 percent of children with autism who receive it, with early intervention (before the age of four) associated with improved social and communication skills as well as increased IQ levels.
