Autism Journey

Your Child's Autism Journey. The Power of Early Intervention

At Opya, we specialize in early intervention care. We know that no single therapeutic approach works for all children diagnosed with autism.

Our focus is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy—an evidence-based approach proven to help children with autism build essential life skills. Our experienced clinical team creates personalized ABA treatment plans tailored to your child’s unique strengths, challenges, and developmental goals. We’re committed to helping each child reach their full potential.

Benefits of Early Intervention Therapies

Starting early for best results

Early intervention therapies for autism begin around preschool age (18-36 months) when a child’s brain is highly receptive to change. This crucial period provides the best start and increases the likelihood of treatment having significant long-term positive effects on a child’s skills development and learning.

Our Focused Approach to Autism Care

At Opya, we know that no single therapeutic approach works for all children diagnosed with autism.

That’s why we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy—an evidence-based approach that helps children build communication, social, and daily living skills. Our board-certified behavior analysts (BCBAs) work closely with families to create individualized treatment plans tailored to each child’s unique needs.

Our clinical team of BCBAs and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) is dedicated to helping children with autism reach their full potential through consistent, compassionate care.

The Importance of Early Intervention ABA Therapy

Through tailored and personalized treatment program, early intervention ABA helps children develop daily living skill.

Socialization

Improving interaction with others and understanding social cues.

Communication

Enhancing verbal and non-verbal communication skills.

Self-awareness

Developing an understanding of one's own emotions and reactions.

Physical abilities

Improving fine and gross motor skills.

Cognitive skills

Enhancing problem-solving and critical thinking abilities.

Self-regulation

Learning to manage emotions and behaviors effectively.

Efficacy of Early Intervention ABA Therapy

Research indicates that 37% of children diagnosed with autism who receive early interventions such as ABA no longer meet the criteria of the condition by age 7. This emphasizes the importance of starting treatment therapy as quickly as possible upon a child’s autism diagnosis.

Launching Your Child’s Journey of Lifelong Skills Development

Starting ABA therapy immediately following a diagnosis can lead to real benefits in your child's development and quality of life.

Our early intervention ABA program is the first episode of care in your child's developmental journey.

With consistent ABA sessions, your child will achieve established goals that will be built upon with our goal to ensure development of essential daily living skills and ensure their school readiness. As your child progresses, their recommended ABA therapy hours will decrease as the needed level of support fades, resulting in successful program completion.

Parent/Caregiver Training is an integral part of your child’s ABA program. You will work hand in hand with your BCBA to learn how autism affects your child and how best to support your child’s development. This combined approach ensures that you, your child, and your family are equipped for the ongoing journey of growth and development.

Testimonials

My son was with Opya for 26 months. We started during the Covid pandemic and things were not easy inside or outside of sessions. We are very grateful to have had a team of dedicated professionals working with us. My son has grown and learned skills that he can use everyday at home, in school, and in the community. We really appreciate everyone from scheduling to our clinical team. You guys rock! Last but not least, our BT consistently went above and beyond teaching my son and helping him meet his goals. She was very patient, knowledgeable, experienced, and loving. My whole family loved working with her.

First time mom, with a 2 year old! We have been with Opya for 8-9 months and we love it. My son has speech and behavioral therapy, and the progress that he has made since we have started…is amazing! I'm so thankful! This company has been so good to us! They definitely have been understanding, supportive, and really do go above and beyond. I truly feel like my son and I have the best team!

Opya has really helped my son with autism. First of all, I get much of his therapy needs in one place now -- ABA, speech, OT, in-school aids/tutor. Also, the team is highly experienced so they help me with everything including the in-school needs. There was no wait list and that means a lot to me because intervention at this young age is so valuable.
