ESDM can lead to lasting improvements in autism symptoms and behaviors, like fewer repetitive behaviors. Studies have also found that ESDM can boost IQ, language, and social skills. Parent-led ABA can also improve skill acquisition over time.
Interestingly, a recent study suggests that higher therapy intensity (20-40 hours/week) may not always be more helpful than lower doses. Starting early, between 12-48 months, seems to be key for both therapies.
