Many parents wonder, “Is 7 too old for ABA therapy?” The short answer is no—ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) can benefit children at any age. While
early intervention often begins before age 5, research shows that ABA remains highly effective for school-age children, including those around 7 years old.
At this age, children can build stronger communication, social, and daily living skills through structured ABA programs. Therapists tailor strategies to each child’s current developmental level—helping improve attention, reduce problem behaviors, and encourage independence.
Whether your child is starting school or transitioning into new routines, ABA therapy provides consistent, evidence-based support that grows with them.
At
Achieve Behavioral Therapy, we design personalized ABA programs that help every child—no matter their age—reach meaningful milestones.
