Empowering Early Growth: Nurturing Developmental Milestones through Early Intervention Services

When your young child demonstrates developmental delays across one or many areas, it is common to worry about how you can help them meet their milestones. For example, a child may not look when their name is called or may not be understanding or saying words by their first birthday.

Early intervention services are available for children who do not have an autism diagnosis but display these delays. Sessions involve teaching foundational skills that prepare young children to learn as they continue to grow.

A registered behavior technician will teach through capturing and contriving opportunities for the child to learn things like vocal and non-vocal imitation, understanding and following directions, and increasing socialization attempts and responses. By focusing on these “learning to learn” skills, the goal is for the child to learn from their environment outside of and after early intervention.

FAQ's

We are here to help you with any questions you might have surrounding ABA Therapy.

What’s the difference between early intervention via RCOC and Direct ABA?

Early intervention services focus more on “readiness to learn” skills, which allow the child to learn from their environment (i.e., imitation, following directions, engaging with developmentally-appropriate toys). These skills are addressed with the ultimate goal for the child to meet developmental milestones, then continue meeting further milestones as they come. Direct ABA addresses more in-depth skills that follow a curriculum based on the child’s specific deficits (i.e., learning levels of friendship for a child who does not demonstrate the concept of strangers vs. safe friends/families). Direct ABA also has a deeper emphasis on behavior modification.

What happens when my child turns 3?

This program is designed to help your child begin meeting milestones by age 3 and not require further support thereafter. If the child continues to demonstrate delays at age 3, it may be recommended to seek an evaluation for autism or other disorders. If you are interested in seeking an evaluation, you can get a referral from your pediatrician.

What if my child is less than 3 years old and has a diagnosis?

Direct ABA therapy is available for children under 3 who have a diagnosis of autism. Early intervention is not accessible to those with a diagnosis of autism, however, these foundational goals can be addressed during direct ABA as well.

Do I need to be present during these sessions?

Parent participation during early intervention sessions is critical so you can use the strategies provided to you within sessions to continue teaching outside of sessions and maximize the progress of your child. You are your little one’s most important teacher, so it is key to their success that these sessions are used to support you.

How many sessions per week?

Early intervention sessions can take place as few as 2 times per week or as many as 5 times per week and session length can be 1.5-3 hours long. Session frequency and duration will depend on the number of early intervention hours that are recommended during assessment and other factors.
