It's great you're looking into ABA and ESDM! A recent study in *Frontiers in Pediatrics* (2025) found that both ABA and ESDM can lead to significant improvements in key developmental areas like language, social skills, and motor skills after just six months.

ESDM has been shown to have lasting improvements in cognition, language, adaptive, and social skills. ABA is also effective, especially at higher intensities (20+ hours/week), and can lead to greater improvements in cognition and adaptive behavior. For best results, consider matching the therapy to your child's specific needs, like ESDM for social-communication or ABA for adaptive behaviors. Monitoring progress and involving parents are also key!
