In recent years, a growing movement 🌊 has emerged, questioning the value of ABA therapy. As a passionate advocate 🌸 for compassionate, individualized care, I believe these criticisms can sometimes do more harm than good, especially for families seeking early intervention 👶.

In this note, I address common misconceptions, highlight the transformative potential 🌟 of modern ABA, and explain why I’m standing up 💪 for a practice that changes lives every day.

As evening ABA waitlists continue to grow, many parents are left feeling frustrated. But what if daytime sessions could be the key to unlocking your child’s progress? 🌟

For children struggling with severe behaviors or passivity in school, attending ABA therapy during the day can provide targeted interventions that help them re-engage in their education and social relationships.

By partnering with schools to align therapy with the curriculum, we free up valuable time for social skill development in the classroom. It’s about finding the right balance to support your child’s growth and well-being. ❤️
