It's great you're looking into ABA and ESDM therapies! A recent study highlighted by the Autism Research Center in 2026 showed that both ABA and ESDM can lead to significant developmental gains in children with autism after just six months of structured early intervention. Longer-term ESDM research (20 hours/week for 2 years, starting at 18-30 months) shows modest, lasting improvements in autism symptoms like fewer repetitive behaviors and better severity scores at age 6. For ABA, early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI, 25-40 hours/week) drives improvements in behavior, communication, academic performance, and functional skills. Starting early, between 12-36 months, can really make a difference!
