Early Learners

Early learners in ABA therapy focus on developing foundational skills essential for learning, communication, and social interaction. At this stage, therapy is highly structured and play-based to keep young children engaged while targeting key developmental areas. Goals often include improving language and communication (such as requesting, labelling, and following simple instructions), increasing attention and participation, teaching basic self-help skills like toileting and dressing, and reducing challenging behaviours. Social skills are introduced through guided play and interaction with peers or therapists, helping children learn turn-taking, sharing, and responding to others. ABA therapy for early learners is individualized and designed to build a strong foundation for future learning and school readiness.
