Autism is a neurological disorder that affects the way someone communicates and interacts with others, for example. It is also one of the most common developmental disabilities in children. Autism can impact the development of basic life skills, such as communication, social interaction, and motor skills.
There are many different treatments to help those with autism. However, not all treatments are created equal when it comes to cost.
ABA Approach
There are many different treatments for autism. One of the most popular treatments for autism is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). ABA is a type of therapy that uses positive reinforcement and rewards to teach new behaviors to children with autism. This treatment can be expensive, starting at $25/hour.
EI Approach
Another treatment option is a more intensive approach, such as Intensive Early Intervention (EI), which can cost up to $40/hour.
These two methods are only two out of many treatments available that vary in cost and intensity and should be discussed by parents before making their decision.
