When it comes to helping children with developmental challenges, two therapies often come up: ABA therapy and speech therapy. While both are essential, they target different areas of growth.

ABA Therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis) focuses on behavior. Therapists work with children to encourage positive behaviors and reduce challenging ones. Think routines, rewards, and consistent reinforcement. It’s especially common for kids with autism.

Speech Therapy, on the other hand, targets communication. This includes everything from forming sounds correctly to understanding and using language, gestures, and even communication devices.

Many children benefit from both therapies working together. If you’re unsure which your child needs, consider speaking with your healthcare provider or support service team.
