What Is the Success Rate of ABA Therapy?

October 3, 2025

ABA therapy is widely recognized as one of the most effective interventions for children with autism. Research shows that many children who receive early and consistent ABA make significant progress in communication, social interaction, daily living skills, and behavior management. In fact, studies indicate that up to 90% of children benefit from ABA, with some gaining skills that allow them to function more independently at school, home, and in the community.

The “success rate” of ABA therapy depends on factors such as the child’s age at the start of therapy, the number of hours per week, and family involvement. Early intervention, ideally beginning before age five, often leads to the most meaningful long-term improvements. However, children and young adults of all ages can see growth with the right support.


At Blue Jay ABA, we focus on personalized, compassionate in-home and school-based ABA therapy. Our goal is not just short-term progress but lasting skills that empower children to thrive in everyday life.
