It's great you're looking into ABA and ESDM! Both therapies show significant improvements in autistic children. Research indicates ABA excels in areas like gross motor skills, while ESDM shines in boosting social reciprocity. A study showed that after two years, children who started with ESDM maintained their gains in key areas such as intellectual ability and adaptive behavior.

ESDM focuses on developmental milestones and naturalistic teaching through play, emphasizing relationships and parent involvement. ABA focuses on behavior reduction and functional skills. Consider your child's specific needs when choosing a therapy!
