ABA Early Intervention
At Rising Spurs ABA Therapy, our early intervention services focus on helping young children with autism develop foundational skills during their critical early years. Our therapists use play-based and structured activities to teach essential skills such as communication, social interactions, and adaptive behaviors. By starting early, we can address developmental delays and promote significant improvements in a child’s overall functioning. This early approach ensures that children build a strong foundation for future learning and development.

Regular assessments allow us to monitor progress and make data-driven adjustments to ensure the most effective interventions.

By focusing on these practical skills, we help children become more self-sufficient and improve their quality of life.
