Autistic individuals may face challenges with certain tasks, such as personal hygiene, cooking, or social interactions, but ABA therapy focuses on building these skills step by step. Through consistent reinforcement and practice, many autistic individuals gain greater independence in areas like dressing, eating, and managing emotions.
The key to helping an autistic person care for themselves is personalized support. ABA therapy focuses on breaking down tasks into smaller, manageable steps while promoting the child’s strengths and preferences. The goal is to help them feel confident and capable, regardless of their
level of autism.
