It’s never too late for ABA therapy. While early intervention (between ages 2 and 6) often leads to faster progress, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is effective for individuals of all ages, including teenagers and adults.
ABA therapy can help children, adolescents, and adults with autism improve communication, social skills, and daily living abilities, regardless of age. For older children and adults, therapy often focuses on independence, job readiness, and community involvement.
The key to success is personalization, ABA therapy is tailored to each individual’s needs, making it adaptable at any stage of life. Even if your child is older, starting therapy later can still lead to meaningful progress in building skills and enhancing quality of life.
At Bluebell ABA, we provide compassionate, individualized ABA therapy in North Carolina for children and adults, helping them reach their full potential, no matter their age.
