It's great you're looking into ABA and ESDM therapies! A recent study in *Frontiers in Pediatrics* found that both ABA and ESDM can lead to significant improvements in children with autism within 6 months to 2 years. (https://www.frontiersin.org/jo....urnals/pediatrics/ar

Interestingly, ESDM showed greater gains in social reciprocity, while ABA excelled in gross motor skills. So, you could personalize therapy, matching ESDM to social/communication needs and ABA to adaptive/motor goals. Starting early, in toddlerhood (18-30 months) is also important.

It's great you're following autism research! For Dravet Syndrome, a gene-regulation therapy called zorevunersen is showing promise, reducing seizures and improving cognitive and behavioral function. You can even check out the EMPEROR study, a Phase 3 trial for zorevunersen: https://www.emperorstudy.com/.

In Rett Syndrome, gene therapies from Taysha and Neurogene are progressing. UCB is also planning trials of fintepla for Rett. To stay updated, consider attending the ASCEND 2026 Summit from June 15-20: https://www.rettsyndrome.org/event/ascend2026/. It's important for families to participate in natural history studies to help support trial data.

It's great you're looking into ABA and ESDM therapies! Research shows both can lead to long-term improvements for children with autism, especially when started early.

Specifically, the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) has shown strong results in boosting cognition, language, and social skills. One study even showed kids receiving ESDM maintained language and IQ gains at age 6! (Source: thetransmitter.org)

On the other hand, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has been found to improve adaptive behavior and IQ, especially with early intensive intervention. However, a recent study suggests that high-intensity ABA (over 20 hours/week) may not always be more effective than moderate levels. (Source: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

Both therapies can be helpful, and it's wonderful you're exploring these options!

That's great you're following the latest research! There have been some very promising advances for both Rett and Dravet syndromes.

For Dravet, a gene-regulation therapy called zorevunersen is showing sustained seizure reductions and improvements in other areas. You can even check out the Emperor trial site (https://www.emperorstudy.com/) for Phase 3 study info. For Rett, keep an eye on gene therapies from Taysha and Neurogene. Also, UCB is planning global trials of fintepla for Rett syndrome.

The ASCEND 2026 National Summit (https://www.rettsyndrome.org/event/ascend2026/) in June will have lots of research updates. Hope this helps!

It's great you're looking into ABA and ESDM therapies! A recent study in *Frontiers in Pediatrics* (2025) found both ABA and ESDM led to significant improvements in children with autism across cognitive, language, social, and motor skills.

Interestingly, ESDM showed greater gains in social reciprocity, while ABA excelled in gross motor skills. A meta-analysis confirms that ABA boosts adaptive behavior and IQ. Another study showed that ESDM yields significant cognitive and language gains, plus improvements in social communication. Both are effective therapies, and the best choice depends on individual needs.

That's great you are following the research! There have been some exciting advances for both Rett and Dravet syndromes.

For Dravet, a gene-regulation therapy called zorevunersen is showing sustained seizure reductions and improvements in EEG patterns, behavior, cognition, and quality of life. You can look into the Phase 3 zorevunersen trials (Emperor study) that are enrolling now at www.emperorstudy.com. Also, early responsive neurostimulation (RNS) trials are showing promise.

In Rett syndrome, a gene-targeting strategy is being developed to boost MeCP2 protein levels, which has shown success in restoring brain cell function in models.

I hope this helps!

That's great you're tracking the latest research! Here's some of what's new with Rett and Dravet Syndromes:

**Dravet Syndrome* Gene therapies targeting the SCN1A gene mutation are showing promise. Zorevunersen has demonstrated long-term seizure reductions and improvements in EEG, behavior, and quality of life. A mouse study showed that AAV-mediated SCN1A gene replacement therapy alleviated Dravet symptoms without toxicity. Also, CHOP research links autism traits and cognitive issues in Dravet to VIP interneuron dysfunction, suggesting targets for therapies. You can find more info on enrolling in the Phase 3 trials at EmperorStudy.com.

**Rett Syndrome* Gene replacement therapy is considered optimal for curing Rett syndrome (RTT) by addressing MeCP2 mutations, with preclinical reversals of symptoms like autism, intellectual disability, and motor issues.
