Arkansas requires what is called a "two-prong diagnosis" to receive ABA therapy. This means an initial diagnosis must be given by a speech language pathologist and/or psychiatrist/psychologist, as well as the child's doctor. Once this is completed, they are then eligible for ABA therapy. If you notice symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder in your child, please contact their doctor for an evaluation referral. For common signs and symptoms of Autism, please check out our FAQ section.
Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) complete in-depth assessments with your child to discover their skill strengths and what areas they have room to grow. Individualized goals are created following evidence-based practices to decrease behaviors that may interfere with the child reaching their full potential while teaching replacement skills.
Our team of behavior technicians and BCBAs work to ensure all custom goals are implemented to follow neurodivergent affirmative practices.

Yes, early intervention greatly enhances the effectiveness of ABA therapy for children with autism. The earlier a child begins therapy, the more opportunities there are for positive development in communication, social skills, and adaptive behaviors. ABA helps build positive behaviors and reduce challenges at a stage when a child’s brain is most flexible and responsive to learning.
No, two-year-olds are not too young for ABA therapy. In fact, ages 18 to 36 months are often considered the most beneficial time to start, as children are rapidly developing language, social interaction, and foundational life skills. ABA programs can be fully customized to a child’s developmental stage, using play-based and positive reinforcement techniques appropriate for young learners.
ABA therapy can be effective as early as 18 months old, depending on each child’s needs and readiness. Research consistently shows that children who begin ABA early make greater progress in communication, attention, and social behavior compared to those who start later. The key is consistency and active family involvement throughout the process.
