As a first-time parent, you may not know what to expect. Every child is different, and developmental milestones can vary. However, if you suspect that your child may have autism, there are some key things you can do right now to get them the help they need. At ACES, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy and other ABA programs for children with autism. We are here to provide you with the resources and support you need to ensure your child has the best possible outcome.

Seek a Professional Evaluation

A medical professional can assess your child and determine if they meet the criteria for an autism diagnosis. If they do, early intervention is key. ABA therapy and other interventions can help your child develop the skills they need to function at their best.

Support Your Child's Learning and Development at Home

As a parent, you play an important role in your child's development. There are many things you can do at home to support their learning. For example, you can provide a structure and routine for the day, create a calm and nurturing environment, and engage in playful activities that encourage learning.

Join Support Groups

You can find support groups and other resources to connect with other parents raising children with autism. Additionally, you can sign up your child for ABA programs and groups at ACES where we focus on social skills development.

Sign Up for ABA Therapy

ABA therapy is the most widely accepted and evidence-based intervention for autism. Our ABA programs are designed to meet the individual needs of each child; we offer center-based ABA therapy as well as in-home ABA services and more. When you're parenting with an autistic child, you want all the help you can get to ensure they're reaching their full potential. ABA therapy at ACES can make a big difference.

If you suspect your child has autism, don't wait to get them help. We offer ABA therapy at our locations across the U.S. and our incredible team is here to support you every step of the way.
