Question 8

How long before my child sees progress?

Accepted Answer

We hear this question a lot. ABA therapy is a proven, data-driven science. However, the extent to which each child adapts is as unique as they are. Know that behaviors often get worse in the first few days and weeks as we begin intervention, often in outbursts we identify as "extinction bursts". Know however that together we are working as a team to assure the maximum progress and highest level of care and service for your child. If you have questions about your child's ongoing progress in ABA, make sure to consult your behavior analyst.
