ABA therapy, in plain words

ABA breaks a big skill into small steps and teaches it through play, with the toys your child likes. Every session is written down, so you can see clearly what works.

The first visit in 3 steps

Your child’s pace comes first. In the first days many children cry when they leave their parent, and that is normal.

Does my child need a diagnosis?

No, you do not need a diagnosis to get in touch. If you have reports from specialists, bring them to the first visit.

Does ABA cure autism?

No. Autism is not an illness to be cured, and nobody can promise you results. ABA helps a child communicate, play and become more independent.

My child cries when we separate. Is that a problem?

No. Many children cry in the first days. Sessions start slowly, with play, at your child’s pace.

How much does a session cost?

It depends on the type of session: at the practice, at home or online. Ask on WhatsApp for prices.

What is my role as a parent?

Parents are part of the team. Lela shows you what is being worked on and how to continue at home.
