A medical professional can assess your child and determine if they meet the criteria for an autism diagnosis. If they do, early intervention is key. ABA therapy and other interventions can help your child develop the skills they need to function at their best.

Support Your Child's Learning and Development at Home

As a parent, you play an important role in your child's development. There are many things you can do at home to support their learning. For example, you can provide a structure and routine for the day, create a calm and nurturing environment, and engage in playful activities that encourage learning.
