ABA Therapy for Children with DS

ABA is an effective way for all hands on and visual learners to develop.

Children with Down's, like children with Autism, Sensory Integration Disorder, and others, in addition to being visual learners, often benefit from the individualized application of ABA the curriculum; the ABA curriculum is designed for learners with language delays.
