Common Signs of Autism to Watch For
Parents often notice slight differences in their child's development first. These signs can vary by age and may include:
Early Signs in Toddlers (12-36 months):
Limited eye contact or not looking at you when you speak
Less babbling or talking compared to other children their age
Not pointing at things they want or to show you something interesting
Not responding to their name by 12 months
Unusual body movements like hand flapping or rocking
Strong negative reactions to certain sounds, textures, or lights
Signs in School-Age Children:
Difficulty making friends or keeping up with social rules
Taking things very literally and missing jokes
Having big reactions to small changes in routine
Very focused interests in specific topics
Repeating phrases or actions over and over
Talking in an unusual tone or rhythm
Trouble understanding other people's feelings
When to Consider an Evaluation:
Your child has lost skills they once had
You've noticed several of the signs mentioned above
Teachers or family members have expressed concerns
Your child seems increasingly frustrated or anxious
Your "parent gut" tells you something is different
Trust your instincts! If you're worried about your child's development, don't wait. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends autism screening for all children during regular check-ups. Remember, seeking answers doesn't label your child—it opens doors to help. Many families find that getting an evaluation is the first step toward finding the right autism therapy services for their unique child.
Autism Diagnosis Service at April ABA
Finding answers about your child's development starts with a thorough evaluation. At April ABA, our autism diagnosis service gives families a clear understanding of their child's unique needs through a warm, respectful process. We use gold-standard assessment tools, parent interviews, and direct observation to create a complete picture of your child's strengths and challenges. Our team takes the time to really know your child, not just check boxes on a form.
After the evaluation, we will sit down with you to explain what we've found in plain language, answer all your questions, and discuss the next steps. Many parents tell us this conversation brings both relief and hope when their child is diagnosed with autism. Whether your child needs autism therapy services or different support, we help you create a roadmap forward. Our diagnosis process connects seamlessly with our treatment services, allowing for a smooth transition if therapy is recommended.

Comprehensive Autism Testing at April ABA
What makes our autism testing different is our attention to detail. We spend more time getting to know your child through play-based activities and natural interactions, helping them feel comfortable while we gather essential information. Our comprehensive testing looks at communication, social skills, behavior patterns, sensory responses, and developmental milestones, giving us a complete view of your child's unique autism profile. Testing should never feel cold or clinical, especially for children who are already anxious.

Our Specialized ABA Therapy Approach
Evidence-based ABA helps kids learn essential skills through practice and positive feedback. At April ABA, we don't use rigid scripts or force kids to sit at tables for hours. Instead, we follow your child's interests to teach them to communicate better, handle frustration, and get along with others. Every autism therapy service should be different because every kid with autism is different. We watch what works for your child, then do more of that.
Our ABA behavior therapist gets to know your child and what makes them happy or stressed. We offer flexible ABA therapy services in-home, at daycare, or in school to meet your family's needs and provide support where your child spends their time. Parents tell us they notice real changes at home, like their child asking for help instead of melting down, or finally playing with siblings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an ABA therapist do?
An ABA therapist uses evidence-based techniques to help children with autism learn new skills and reduce challenging behaviors. They create individualized treatment plans, collect data to measure progress, and work closely with families to ensure skills transfer to everyday life.
What is an example of ABA therapy?
ABA therapy might include breaking down complex skills like brushing teeth into small, manageable steps and using positive reinforcement to encourage progress. For a child struggling with communication, an ABA therapist might teach alternatives to challenging behaviors, such as using picture cards or simple signs to express needs.
How effective is ABA therapy for autism?
Research shows ABA therapy is highly effective for many children with autism. Studies report improvements in communication, social skills, learning readiness, and reduction in challenging behaviors. The effectiveness depends on factors like intensity of therapy, individual needs, and family involvement.
At what age is ABA therapy most effective?
While research shows that starting ABA therapy before age 5 often yields the best outcomes, children of any age can benefit from ABA therapy. Early intervention takes advantage of young children's brain plasticity, but older children and even adults can make meaningful progress with the right program.
How long should a child stay in ABA therapy?
The duration of ABA therapy varies based on individual needs, goals, and progress. Some children benefit from 1-3 years of therapy, while others may need longer-term support. Your ABA therapist will regularly evaluate progress and make recommendations based on your child's development.
