Autism Journey

Your Child's Autism Journey. The Power of Early Intervention

At Opya, we specialize in early intervention care. We know that no single therapeutic approach works for all children diagnosed with autism.

We are able to complement ABA therapy with speech and occupational therapies to create individualized treatment plans that ensure holistic care of your child. Our dedicated clinical team is committed to helping children with autism reach their full potential.

Benefits of Early Intervention Therapies

Starting early for best results

Early intervention therapies for autism begin around preschool age (18-36 months) when a child’s brain is highly receptive to change. This crucial period provides the best start and increases the likelihood of treatment having significant long-term positive effects on a child’s skills development and learning.

Efficacy of Early Intervention ABA Therapy

Research indicates that 37% of children diagnosed with autism who receive early interventions such as ABA no longer meet the criteria of the condition by age 7. This emphasizes the importance of starting treatment therapy as quickly as possible upon a child’s autism diagnosis.

Launching Your Child’s Journey of Lifelong Skills Development

Starting ABA therapy immediately following a diagnosis can lead to real benefits in your child's development and quality of life.
Our early intervention ABA program is the first episode of care in your child's developmental journey.

With consistent ABA sessions, your child will achieve established goals that will be built upon with our goal to ensure development of essential daily living skills and ensure their school readiness. As your child progresses, their recommended ABA therapy hours will decrease as the needed level of support fades, resulting in successful program completion.

Parent/Caregiver Training is an integral part of your child’s ABA program. You will work hand in hand with your BCBA to learn how autism affects your child and how best to support your child’s development. This combined approach ensures that you, your child, and your family are equipped for the ongoing journey of growth and development.
