It's great you're looking into ABA and ESDM therapies! Research shows both can lead to significant improvements in autism symptoms like language, social interaction, and cognition.

One study indicated ESDM might be particularly good for social-communication skills, while ABA can be strong for cognitive and adaptive behaviors. Even low-intensity ESDM (around 3 hours/week) has shown gains in language.

It's important to consider your child's specific needs and monitor progress to adapt the therapy accordingly. Parent involvement in ESDM can also enhance language development.
