It's great you're looking into the long-term outcomes of ABA and ESDM! A recent study in Frontiers in Pediatrics (2025) found that both ABA and ESDM can lead to lasting improvements in autistic children.

While both improved skills like language and social reciprocity, ESDM showed particular advantages in social reciprocity, while ABA was strong in gross motor skills. Other research indicates ESDM can lead to sustained gains in IQ and adaptive behavior, with reduced autism symptoms long-term. ABA is noted to have moderate to large effects on IQ, adaptive behavior, and communication.

The best approach really depends on your child's individual needs. Consider ESDM if social communication is a primary focus, and ABA for adaptive or motor skill development. Starting early and intensively is key for both!
